| Matt Nathanson – Bottom of the Sea Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
One of my favorites on Modern Love, after Kiss Quick. It's simple and pretty easy to understand--the modern world seems to be going to shit ("too many cars drinking too much gasoline/no good news on my tv screen) and he wants to escape to a place that seems free of such negativity--the bottom of the sea. On a more interpretive level, I think the chorus is about him being in a relationship where he's pressured to be someone else--to be that someone's else he has to give himself up. That's another thing he wants to escape. Going to the bottom of the sea is like starting over, in a place free of societal pressures, where maybe he and the girl from the chorus can try again. My favorite part is the bridge--he's saying that if the outside world is tempting her, he won't stop her leaving, but he wants her to come back. The bottom of the sea may be peaceful, but being there alone isn't worth it. |
