| Voltaire – #1 Fan Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I like Dullahan's interpretation, it helped me to think about this song in a different light. But I think that "#1 Fan" could also be about a fan of a celebrity. In the lyrics "Corner cafe, random meeting // Is that really you there? // Scrape me off the ceiling // I've waited my whole life for this day // Now I don't know what to say" it seems like the fan sees the person he adores for the first time (hence saying "I've waited my whole life for this day"). I mean, if he is really a stalker of someone he knows personally, he could easily see them every day. Also, the lines "I've been here since last night at nine // I was the first in the line" sounds just like a fan going to a concert of a singer he adores, and he waits all night in front of the entrance, just to be the first in the line. To conclude, I think this song can be interpreted in both ways. When I read the lyrics for the first time, it instantly reminded me of how I feel about some celebrities. Every line of the song depicts perfectly how I feel (just listening to a song by that celebrity makes me feel like everything will be OK; he is so great, I am so plain, etc.). But also the lyrics fit well with feelings of a person being desperately in love with someone, seeing her/him as "the sea and the sky" and feeling like they'll never be good enough for the one they adore. |
