Mew – Comforting Sounds Lyrics 18 years ago
this song is very special to me too - like many of mew's songs....

i believe this is about love and being away from the one you love, perhaps both physically and emotionally.
she and i are in love with each other, but we live far away and it's difficult to keep this connection. it's a big strain on us, and only frewquent communication helps relieve that.

"i don't feel alright
in spite of these comforting sounds
you make
i don't feel alright
because you make promises
that you break"
maybe this is a "weak" moment - i've had these - when you're sad and miss the person, and they are far away doing who knows what - in this case, when you're full of doubt, it's easy to say "no, i don't feel alright, even though you try to comfort me and say it's ok";

"why don't we share our solitude?
nothing is pure anymore but solitude
it's hard to make sense
feels as if i'm sensing you
through a lens"
it often gets like this, sensing the other as if through a lens - when you don't hear from her in a while and it feels like the connection is slipping away, feels like emotional distance adds on top of the actual miles...
and we have our moments where we are both alone thousands of kms away, alone because we are in love with each other, and it would be so sweet to join each other in solitude...

"and probably you know
all the dirty shows i put on
blunted and exhausted like anyone
honestly i tried to avoid it
honestly"
i've put on shows of jealousy, and sometimes it wasn't pretty, that's why they're dirty. jealous because distance is straining - sometimes you do feel exhausted, no matter how determined you are. and i try to avoid it, honestly, i do my best to be cool and trust her and just be patient. honestly.

nothing comes to mind re. the drums and the kids piece.

the song may be about something different, but these lines speak to me in my situation.
