| Gabriel and Dresden – Tracking Treasure Down Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This song is about a relationship that needs to end. "I know this will be something I remember in my head" "Sharp words push me back hanging on to anything I can" Here she is referring to the talk she is about to have with her boyfriend, sharp words are threating the relationship which neither of them want to end. "Why do you tell me only things I want to hear" "Why don't you tell me, this can just disappear" The boyfriend tells her everything is fine and the relationship is not in danger. "At the same time you keep tracking treasure down" Treasure here is referring to other women, this is the ultimate problem in the relationship, is that the man is in it because he does not want to be single but he is really just looking for someone better to come along. "Can't stop, I'm soaked tonight, wanna find something I believe" She can't stop interrogating him because she is "soaked" with information about his secret. She's just looking for some proof that he loves her and isn't waiting for the next best thing. "Open up take me in, makes no sense help me understand" He has opened up to her and they know a lot about each other, she doesn't understand why he doesn't love her as much as she loves him. "You tell me of pirate-ships and fairytales, you have me wishing everything was real" Basically he keeps telling her the relationship is perfect and that she doesn't have anything to worry about. I like the use of pirate-ship and fairytale because fairytale goes well with describing the fake relationship and pirate-ship goes well with the tracking treasure down analogy. To sum it all up, the girl singing the song is with a man who she has fallen in love with, but he is only with her because he doesn't want to be single and he's only waiting for the next best thing to show up. She keeps hearing stories from other people about his true views on their relationship and how he is only looking for a better girl( i think this is implied because gabriel and dresden sing the chorus in the song, showing how they are telling her about the relationship ). |
