I always find myself jumping up and down when this song comes on. Especially the "You get that, whoo" part. That part's really fun. |

I'd say in this the speaker changes at points "when I stare in your eyes I see the image of god well girl listen out for the phonecall and pray for a flood" You could be right, but I'm quite sure this bit is interchange between the 'hostage' and the 'captor,' Seeing as the second line is aimed at a woman, and is possibly a response to the first line. They were words probably said off the phone line, seeing as it says the husband calls back at 9. It could be that the wife sees her 'captor' as her saviour, and he tells her to "pray for a flood"in part because it is a biblical reference, but not a negative one. He means a 'flood' as in a ton of cash, the 'ransom.' This shows the fact that the woman's 'captor' doesn't take her affections all that seriously. Seeing as the entire song is about people being abandoned about the ones they love, this would fit. "I gave him my heart now he's left it to die and I know I can't go back he walks out the room, shouted see you around she begged, come on give me some slack you said, there's no hope but babe you can wait for that dove she screamed from the window, so is the price of love?" Again, there's a high chance your deduction is better than mine, but again I'd say this is the wife speaking. This leaves the whole stanza to be quite straightforward. It's again more proof that he doesn't really love her back, and was only using her for money, harking back to the fact that she sees God in him, and rather jokingly, by saying "you said, there's no hope but babe you can wait for that dove." Anyway, I might be wrong, but that's what I got from the song. |

Is it "our hero" or "her hero"? It could also be "a hero" as a sort of planned Srockholm Syndrom thing, where she knows he's just going to walk out on her ("you secretly knew he planned it this way") but she still tris to make herself believe he loves her too, even though it's obvious he doesn't and she realizes this in the end. Just throwing that possibility put there. |

This song is definetly about a man who is now famous, considering the fact that he 'took the time out to be seen' and how he seems too busy to be there. He is obviousy haunted by his home town, "they remind him how we fall/from the stars back to our cities where we've never felt so small" because it reveals to him what he has turned into, "he sees how quick the water's raising as another raindrop lands" "Driver what's happened to these buildings?/ They all look rundown so forlorn Two things wondering about is, does he kill himself in the end? The do not disturb sign fit me thinking, and some poisons leave you shaking... The other thing is, could this be a sort of dramatized autobiography? |
