| That makes a lot of sense! I'd say that's exactly right. | |

I'm still not exactly sure what this song is about, but it always makes me think of watching films and not being entirely satisfied with the ending, or not knowing what's going on. "I've seen this one before" made me think of that at first, and then the line "Cause she barely even knows him" makes me think of couples in films and how unbelieveable they are because they can only show you an hour or so of these characters, and you feel like they barely even know each other. Then "Everything is quiet as she waits to tell him who she is" would be the silence in the cinema at the big reveal at the end of the film. "Is this all we get to be absolute" - Sometimes films leave you feeling like "Was that it?" And then the lines: "Quiet but I'm sure there is something here Tell me everything cause I want to hear" really make me think of when you don't get the plot, or maybe you've missed a bit, so you ask someone what's going on, but they'd just say "Quiet!" 'cause they don't want to miss the rest just because they were explaining one bit to you. But he wants them to tell him everything because he doesn't understand. "It's a kiss sits upon on her lips that waits for planes and battle ships " - Again this line has such cinematic imagery; you can just imagine some old 1940's romance with the girl waiting for her sweetheart to come back from the war or something like that. "She wants to be a dancer" - Maybe this is pushing this interpretation but isn't there a film called Flashdance about a girl who just wants to be a dancer? lol perhaps that's going a bit far. "All we are and all we want 40 years come and gone All we are in photographs Will never be taken" - They'll never be taken because it isn't a real story, and it's being filmed instead of the photographs that make up the memories of people in real life. 40 years come and gone in one quick hour in the cinema. I don't know, it just makes me think of the soullessness of films and how you're never quite satisfied after watching one, because it always feels like something's missing, but my interpretation is nothing like what anyone else has written so it might just be my cynical distrust of the film industry, lol. |
