| And i don't like Gatsby's American Dream's cover. It's too pop-ish/punkish. | |

personally i like the cover and im a fan of the cure. but tbs changed a lot of the lyrics and some of it really changed the meaning. especially this verse: CURE version "Why are you so far away?" she said "Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you That I'm in love with you" TBS version i have to let her know and scream, "why are you so far away?" she said, "won't you ever know that i'm in love with you, yeah, i'm in love with you." in the cure version the girl is asking the singer "why are you so far away?" and the singer is answering, "won't you ever know that i'm in love with you." But in tbs' version, the singer is asking "why are you so far away?" and the girl is answering. I think the cure originally wanted the song to be a about a relationship that's slowly drifting apart (hence the girl asking why they were so far away and the singer saying that she doesn't know he's in love with her). But in tbs' version we don't get that as much. |

I've read over some of the other comments and I just thought to add my perspective on this song. Sorry if I repeat anything that anyone else has mentioned. I don't think this song is about love. I think it's about living in a crazy world where the rules don't make much sense but the speaker and the person he is referring to accept it and are both barely getting through life. "Give me your eyes I need sunshine Give me your eyes I need sunshine Your blood, your bones Your voice, and your ghost" I'm not too sure on this part. I think that he's asking for a different perspective on his world where there isn't much to look forward to ('sunshine'). "We've both been very brave Walk around with both legs Wait for the scary day We both pull the tricks out of our sleeves" The speaker and the person he's talking to both face the world head on. When a challenge approaches them they 'pull the trick out of their sleeves' and manage to get out. I guess by "pulling tricks out of our sleeves" he means that they don't actually confront the scary day but avoid it (a temporary solution). "But I'll believe in anything And you'll believe in anything Said I'll believe in anything And you'll believe in anything" Even though the speaker knows the world is crazy and the person knows the world is crazy they continue to live on, accepting it. The music video illustrates this by showing 16th century England and how 'honour' goes above all and one must confront the other in a duel if that honour is breached. When the main character in the video disrespected the other men (by taking their girl or trashing the place) the others were forced into duels that resulted in one of their deaths. It's a stupid way to die but they believe in it. "If I could take the fire out from the wire I'd share a life and you'd share a life If I could take the fire out from the wire I'd share a life and you'd share a life If I could take the fire out from the wire I'd take you where nobody knows you And nobody gives a damn" I think "take the fire out from the wire" is a metaphor for a spark on a fuse. If he could stop the aggression and tension by stopping the spark on the wire then there wouldn't be a need for the senseless killing. Both of them could coexist ("I'd share a life and you'd share a life"). The "I'd take you where... nobody gives a dam" is a continuation of that thought. The bridge where he goes on saying "And I could take another hit for you...look at a place far away from here" I think is a continuation from "I'd take you where nobody knows you and nobody gives a damn". This is because he starts off the sentence with "And". Also, if it stood on its own the bridge would contradict the verse because here he is stating all sorts of control has on the world where as before he said they were barely getting by. The "I could take away the trips from you" part could be a reference to going off to war and I'm pretty sure its referring to the 'scary days'. So it is saying that he could stop the violence in his world and make it perfect if there wasn't any aggression. Things i don't get: - Again, the part that asks for blood, bones and ghost. - Where he says "nobody knows you and nobody gives a damn". I have a feeling he's just continuing the "if I could take the fire out of the wire" part but I'm not sure if he's actually saying nobody knows you and nobody gives a damn. Kay that's just my point of view on the song. lol and i don't expect you to read all that but i'd feel honoured if you did anyways. |
