Ha wow I really like the fridge interpretation. Not at all something I would think but very interesting and perhaps accurate. Augure, I too find myself sometime arrogantly confident, particularly against others' ideas. If you knew how extraordinarily dissociated my mind is, you would know my critique of your comment is not intended to convey malicious connotations. I simply believe people who think they've got most things figured out usually do so for a reason, sometimes a good reason. Therefore, I would like to ask that you please explain your interpretation. I am sincerely interested in how you see it. |

I think I read from Time that she either is or was a school teacher at some point, which actually gave me a predisposed bias to her interpretations. Soon as I heard braces I thought this song pertained perhaps to some of her observations. I initially thought it was middle school but after reading the lyrics it must be high school. I think the song has a lot to do with social development, finding a purpose, or the awkward realizations / transitions in mind set growing up. Making friends, growing apart then catching up. Ultimately an almost irrelevant cycle. Is the purpose of school or life to make friends? or make friends that you will grow apart from and it's just another page you can look back at later in life? I think this song is leading to a message along those lines. |

I too think it's about death but more specifically our beliefs and how they relate to afterlife. The lines: "i know it i think i know it from a hymn they said so it doesn't need more explanation" I take as possibly meaning, certain currently unexplainable phenomenon are justified with beliefs and that's enough for some people, an atheist/agnostic notion. Then: "And if you don't you're on your own" Further justifies a notion that, in terms of being a believer, you either are or aren't. However: "a box to open up with light and sound" Baffles me. What could that be? A TV, jewelry/music box? It's placement in between the lines I mentioned could be unnecessary and for rhythmic purposes. Also, she could be equating it to church, solidifying my assumptions, but I think that's reaching pretty far. It makes you cold though? Perhaps it's a coffin, which in fact is quite the opposite, dark and quiet. The placement may actually fairly strategic, which helps emphasize that you can believe that box to be something different than what we otherwise know it as. |
