| The Decemberists – We Both Go Down Together Lyrics | 15 years ago |

Sorry, I feel like I should elaborate. Only one other person has said it reminds them of Tess of the D'Urbevilles and I have to agree with them. It sounds as though the man wants to believe the woman loves him. And it sounds like he was a rich Victorian man who raped one of his servants. Which says Tess of the D'Urbevilles all over it. And the two deaths relate to it quite a lot as well. I don't know that that is exactly what it has been written about but to me, that's what it means. Fantastic book, by the way. |

| Clearly none of you lot have read Tess of the D'Urbevilles. It reminds me a lot of this. | |

I bet I'm wrong and everyone will go "no, no, it means this". But I have a different interpretation. I always imagine it's about a man who's about to get married, make the biggest commitment in his life. He's saving his best 'til last but he's worried it might not be good enough (great white hope, like the boxing thing). He's realised that it's a really big thing and it's not like he imagined. He thinks his future wife won't like his beliefs and his bad habits. But in the chorus, he's trying to convince himself that he is good enough and things will be okay. Or something. |
