I read through what you guys think this song is about... I always thought it was about something COMPLETELY different! :S I thought it was about a kid who was really talented and his parents were trying to push him into a famous career so they could become famous themselves. (A bit like Lleyton Hewitt's parents lol!) "It must feel good to stand above me, while I make you so proud of me." And the bit that's like "they swore you'd steal my steam to feed your dream and then be gone." When it's saying "Your guest comes in dressed smart, you offer a la carte, you didn't have the heart." I always thought it meant like his parents were showing him off to everyone, saying "Look how good we are, we have a talented child." And then the kid was so stressed out because his parents were putting so much pressure on him and they didn't really care what he wanted that he took up smoking and they didn't know, and he died of lung cancer. Hence, Cigarettes Will Kill You. Everyone else seems to think it's about a bad relationship :S Maybe I'm wrong, I dunno. I like my interpretation more though. :] lol. |
