| Vampire Weekend – Giving Up the Gun Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
all i get from the song is that it's about masturbation. its about having a once fulfilling sex life, and then realising "why get a girl when i have my hands?". the sword growing old and rusty refers to his "skills" in the sack deteriorating, and the gun is a reference to masturbation. "My ears are blown to bits, From all the rifle hits,But still I crave that sound" refers to the problems that he encountered from masturbating so much, but he "still crave[s] that sound", meaning he still wants to feel an orgasm. "when i was 17, i had wrists of steel" is kinda obvious when you think about it. i'm nearly certain this is the meaning to it. whilst the references to japan have merit, i cant get this meaning out of my head. |
