| Company of Thieves – Oscar Wilde Lyrics

I thought that if I researched Oscar Wilde I might find out what this song was intended to mean, but no luck. So after just reading the lyrics again, I've found MY idea of what the song means. I think that it's saying that we get so busy ("Beaty pageants all the time"), we don't have time to do stuff that we want to do, therefore "time is running out" and "time keeps on ticking away". As for the chorus, I think that "we are all our own devil" and "we make this world our hell" by torturing ourselves with all that work. |

I think this song is about a guy going through some tough times in his life, and this younger girl - who he knows he shouldn't be with - is distracting/easing his pain ("What I give to you is just what I'm going through"). At the end, he keeps repeating "She's still too young", which gives me the impression that he knows it's wrong being with her. However, he stays with her because he doesn't want to face his problems ("what I really need is what makes me bleed"). To me it's like his inward battle, with contributions from the girl. |
