| Tegan and Sara – Paperback Head Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
This song always comes across as a song to be song to ones self. I mean that it seem as if the singer is almost singing to a mirror, in a way. Paperback head, you get carried away Stitch up your spine, keep the suitors away You must draw your own aid, must sift your affairs Must frame up...a material girl Sung as if a boy/girl who had suffered a break up, not a recent one. But they've been single, they've been autonomous, they've been this person who has been suffering this heart ache has started to heal but not so much that they're willing to give relationships another go. They are carried away within this persona of his or herself while holding this dual image people are perceiving. I imagine the material girl part to be an uglier picture one is painting of themselves to ward off attention or affection, in a means to sink further into isolationism. I gasp like sugar and spice I gasp like sugar and spice The singer is still capable of being a girl, of having the reactions of a girl. The singer recognizes his or her own capability of being ideal. She is still this person, beyond the walls and barriers. Who better than you? Better than you Who better than you? Better than you Who better than you? Better than you Who better than you? Who better for the singer to have than his or herself? Who would be good enough now? Who would the singer allow in now that the defenses have been built? Or, at least, that's my interpretation. |
