| The National – Looking for Astronauts Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
To me, this song is about dreaming your life away. "We're out looking for astronauts, looking for astronauts" This one means that we're stuck in searching for unreal, abstract meaning of life, for something greater than us, something godlike above us, like astronauts. We dream about better things which are unreachable for us. "Are we gone Come on, yeah we know we're gone bye bye bye bye bye bye we know e're gone" Those verses mean that we are perfectly aware that we waste our lives on imagination & dreaming thins, that we're gone in this dreamworld, but we don't care about it, because we like the situation we're in. We're comfortable with dreams. And finally, the best lyrics in song: "They all run together and never make sense But that's how we like it, and that's all we want Something to cry for, and something to hunt." Last lyrics are about our wishes - all we want from life & arts is that they give something we could cry for, something romantic & heartbreaking, something what we'll hunt down in our memories for a long time. |

| Actually, I think this song's about Gaius Julius Caesar. All lyrics except Jerusalem bells & St. Peter are linked to Caesar. | |

I have two theories about what this song is about: 1. About performing on stage in England - "The English are waiting and I don't know what to do, In my best clothes" refers to performing on a concert somewhere in England, and singer tells us that he practiced the performance well, so he came on stage "in his best clothes", but yet something doesn't work, they don't sound well, and English are waiting for them to start playing well. Singers starts to think about his sweetheart because he thinks that this will give him an energy to carry on the performance. "This is nothing like it was in my room, In my best clothes" means that this song sounded better when they were practicing it in his room. "I won't fuck us over, I'm Mr. November, I'm Mr. November, I won't fuck us over." means that he we'll sing well eventually and he won't spoil his band's performance & whole concert. And concert was probably in November. "I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders" means that he had better times, he sang better once, everything was perfect in the past. But now he will concentrate, put himself in shape, so performance will probably soon be better, that's what "I'm the new blue blood, I'm the great white hope, I'm the new blue blood" stands for. 2. Second theory is similar to first one, except it refers to living better in the past, and living bad in present, so he hope that things in his life will soon be better. ;) |
