i think its the exact opposite, actually i personally think it's about a boy who changes himself for a girl in a higher social class and after he's changed his lifestyle and clothes, i think she left him. "how handsome your furniture LOVELIER* now, but dressed for a funeral" -> i think that relates to how his lifestyle, even apartment furniture literally, might be much more 'grown-up' and look much more chic and 'older'. chic would be dark colors, like black. portraits are painted with dark backgrounds usually. "elegant clothes, you want to be seen with her" -> obviously relates to how he's changed his look to see more suited to her tastes. "all of the time it took, soon it's all lines of red in a leather book" -> all the effort he put into making new, more sophisticated friends has been a waste. he's scratching out their names in his Little Black Book of phone numbers. that just how i always thought of this song or at least those parts. the chorus i don't understand? |

i'm not sure if somebody already said this: Bleachin' your teeth, smiling flash Talking trash, under YOUR BREATH & then the 4 time they say it, it's changed to window. maybe i'm just picky, but i love this song, and its bugs me to see it incorrect. [: |

i think this is just about getting older, you know? probably somebody else wrote this but i don't feel like reading 4 pages of comments, haha like; A child to your chest that could lay as you sleep And love all you have left like your boy used to be his father is old now, and misses his children how they were, close to him, and not far away like they are now. and; with those wings in your spine Love to be with a brother of mine the brother might be dead wings = angel & he misses him. in his dreams, he can still see him alive. and how he left with his head full of flames, i think means the last time the writer saw him, he was upset, and he never had a chance to make an apology. it could also work with the holocaust like Anne Franks father missing his lost family. |

these are really wrong this is what i hear & i've put some time into figuring it out fall down the stairs, it's been a long time since i got my hands on your teenage poems it's the only poison that i like. and throwing rocks at broken windows picking locks with footprints from the snow and i don't believe you live in a library (that sails the sea) sleeping with a book-blanket out at sea (like you told me) my little bird flew away from me she made her home in a poor country you're breaking branches on your way down to someone new to throw your arms around the next i wake up, i want to be in a rabbit hole to the sound of you (making coffee) with the warm, salty sea it's waves crashing over me look what you've done, you punched a hole in the sun now it won't shine for anyone |
