Just a few corrections? Lolxors at no one noticing. Just so I can be the pound in your chest Game the fame for checkmate, Just so I can be the pawn in your chess- Game, for fame, but checkmate. This makes a tad more sense along with the checkmate, and I definetely here pawn/chess instead of pound/chest. Make no mistake we not fate, wake up -> Make no mistake, we're not fake, wake up Makes a tad more sense, and it rhymes along with the -ake phonetics. Just like Kevin loves to go along with phonetic-rhyming. This song is obviously about living in Toronto, indeed, but in general it's about moving out, alienating from your parents, no longer talking to them, maybe even losing some 'hometown' friends. The FlyPaper is probably a metaphor for everything and everyone trying to keep you near them, close to them, in some town where you can't grow. Or something like that. That's why his city life is a process, he's out in the real world, growing and all. It seems he's afraid of being afraid of losing everyone. He's caught between a rock and a hard place: A rock IS hard. He feels trapped. In the end, I think it's about trying to figure himself out. He know what he wants to say, but he doesn't know how to word it. This would also make a tad sense on the few sentences that are just implented to make the song rhyme. The may appear random, but are just a way of expressing themselves. Mmm, in my head I know how I can 'translate' and 'relate' to the song, but writing it down seems a tad harder. Feel free to discuss anything I said. I'd love you too :). |

To me the chorus is about getting caught in the moment, being caught in the moment, and then it's gone again. It's like a drug. You gotta keep takin' it to stay stuck in the moment. And that's what this song is (mainly) about. Addictions that help you escape reality. Otherwise known as; Drugs. |

| Damien Rice – 9 Crimes Lyrics | 18 years ago |

To me, it's about how now is not the time and place to love eachother. They ask the other one to end it, and if they don't want to, then they want to know how to end it themselves. "Give my gun away when it's loaded" I want you to finish it. (Because I can't/don't want to/don't know how to) "If you don't shoot it, how 'm I supposed to hold it?" Dammit, just get this over with. Just finish it off, finish this "mess" we're in. If you don't finish it, tell me how am I supposed to hold the gun, and I'll finish it myself. I think the "how 'm I supposed to hold it" relates to them asking, how they have to use a gun. To me, that was the very first impulse after listening to Lisa's mighty voice about giving away a loaded gun, in order for the other one to end it all. They just want to get it over with, as they can no longer accept that they love eachother, but for all the wrong reasons, there love just isn't meant to be. And why they want to end it? They don't even know. They don't even got a proper excuse. It's a small crime to secretly love eachother, but it's a huge crime to let returned love go to waste. "Is that alright with you?" Is it alright if we end it? Should we end it? "No..." We shouldn't It's like a fairy-tale with forbidden-love, and the lesson to be learned is about persistency. But that's just how I see this song ;). Let nóthíng get you down. |
