| Mae – Mistakes We Knew We Were Making Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
This song is definitely about an unplanned pregnancy. The couple realizes that they made a mistake by having sex when they see the consequences are this "life inside", the unborn baby. They drive to the hospital together, and the "aches" could be referring to either her being in labor, or else the pain that they have caused in their lives and hearts by this mistake. It refers to the "little one on the other side", and this could mean that the baby died, but I believe that it refers to the baby being inside her (thus on the "other side" from him), or else that he cannot see the baby until they get to the "other side" of her labor (so he is speaking to the the little one from this side). And i think that Mae's lead vocalist/songwriter does have a kid. Back in April 2007 i went to see Mae open for Relient K in concert. Just before the concert began another band come out on the stage, instead of Mae, and started out by apologizing for Mae not being able to play due to the fact that their lead vocalist had got on a plane headed home earlier that day in hopes to make it in time to see his baby being born. |
