| The Fiery Furnaces – Ray Bouvier Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
At first I thought "made me shoot the shoe" was a made up, casual expression, but now I see it as, literally, a cheap date with Ray Bouvier shooting cans (or shoes). She even takes the bullet to a knife show to carve the date. "Shoot the shoe" symbolizes execution or pulling the trigger. She betrays a good friend and understands the consequences. (It even sounds like it was her friend's pair of shoes that she shot.) |
