| Flobots – Handlebars Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| i think when they say "i" or "me and my friends", they are talking about the human race. almost like sayng "this is a list of what we can do. the simple and the crazy"... something like that... and on a side note, i think this song is going to blow up. everyone will know i sooner or later. just remember you heard it here first. | |

i am thinking this song has to do with 2 friends(Rosemary and Sandy). they are going to rob a jewelry store. and the trial that Rosemary had to go through. i think that this song is more literal then what ppl think ok...here it goes... Rosemary, Heaven restores you in life You're coming with me Through the aging, the fearing, the strife (Sandy talking to Rosemary about how they are best friends and no matter what they go through they will have each other. she is trying to get her to rob this place with her. i am guessing its a jewelry store) It's the smiling on the package (whatever it is they are trying to steal...) It's the faces in the sand (i am guessing that they want to live on a beach. and the "faces in the sand" is talking about something called "diamond faces"...look it up) It's the thought that moves you upwards (almost like saying "come on... u know u want it... u know we can do it) Embracing me with two hands (...holding hands) Right will take you places Yeah maybe to the beach (if we do this right we can maybe go to the beach and have a good time...) (this is Sandy talking to Rosemary) When your friends they do come crying Tell them now your pleasure's set upon slow release (when your friends come crying and asking why we did it, u will say that you could not let go of the dream we have...or something like that) (this is kind of a flash forward to a trial. but only Rosemary was cought) Hey wait Great smile Sensitive to fate, not denial (Rosemary saying something along the lines of u seemed happy when u were doing it but now u know whats going to happen...you are going to jail. sorry but you knew what you were doing. you could have stoped at any time. this could also be the jury talking to Rosemary) but hey hows on trial? (i think that only rosemary got caught, and that even though she knows it was wrong she still did it. so she can't blame Sandy for bringing her along. she has no right to be talking...basically) It took a life span with no cellmate The long way back (only Rosemary is going to jail because she was caught...) Sandy, why can't we look the other way? (Rosemary asking "Sandy did we really have to do this?) (flashback to b4 th trail) We speaks about travel Yeah we think about the land (the beach) We smart like all peoples Feeling real tan (this is back b4 rosemary is caught) its kinda they were saying "we know what we are doing. we got this..." they think they are smart and know they can do it when they really have no idea what they are about to get themselfs into. thats why Interpol used improper English. kinda like saying "u are not as smart as u think u are") (This is Sandy talking to Rosemary) I could take you places (if we do this we can go anywhere we would like) Do you need a new man? (kinda saying "do u need a new boyfriend?...cuz i can get you one") Wipe the pollen from the faces (i think they are kind making a reference to bees. kinda like saying "get cleaned up. we got a job to do." much like how ever bee in a hive as a job to do in the hive) Make revision to a dream while you wait in the van (think about what u are going to do with the money we are going to get while u wait in the get away van) It took a life span with no cellmate The long way back Sandy, why can't we look the other way? but hey whos on trial? (back to the trial. same situation as b4) It took a life span with no cellmate To find the long way back Sandy, why can't we look the other way? (same as b4) (this is Sandy talking to Rosemary) You're weightless, you are exotic (buttering Rosemary up) You need something for which to care (u need something that u care about. something like diamonds, jewels, gems, rubys and so on) (Rosemary talking to Sandy) Sandy, why can't we look the other way? ("did we really have t do this? we could have done something else...") (Rosemary talking to herself or the 2 of them talking to eachother...they both work) Leave some shards under the belly (hide the stuff) Lay some grease inside my hand (saying "WOOT" *high5*... It's a sentimental jury (make it look like Rosemary is the victim) And the makings of a good plan (they thought it was a good plan...) You've come to love me lightly Yeah you come to hold me tight (talking to Sandy) Is this motion ever lasting (the jury seems to be taking forever to make a decision) Or do shudders pass in the night? (asking herself "maybe i will get away with it") Rosemary, Heaven restores you in life (Sandy trying to butter up Rosemary even though she knows that she is going to prison) It spent a life span with no cellmate (Rosemary is all alone) The long way back (its going to be a long time until she gets out) Sandy, why can't we look the other way? (we could have done something else) (this is sandy talking to Rosemary) You're weightless, semi-erotic (trying to make her feel better) You need someone to take you there (Rosemary is saying "i was just trying to give u a better life") Sandy, why can't we look the other way? Why can't we just play the other game? Why can't we just look the other way? (same as b4. we could have done something else. something not against the law...[the other game]...oh well) |
