| I really like your interpretation of the song, and I completely agree. I've always thought it was abut some apocalypse, and what you wrote totally makes sense. | |

As a person with social anxiety who thinks it's hard to go out in public, I can so relate to this song. It almost feel like this song was written for me! This is what I think of it: "You're a porcelain doll that sits in a window. You hold your breath when people walk by." - I think it's pretty self-explanatory, but; this person she sings about spend a lot of time looking through the window. Seeing as the person holds his/hers breath when someone do pass by, it might seem as if he/she is trying to not be seen. The person just sits there without really having any dreams, any thoughts or anything else to do. "Safely kept behind rose-colored glass, neatly tucked beneath the spotlight." - This makes it seem as if the person is fine with the situation he/she is in, especially with the words "safely" and "neatly" to describe it. People with anxiety will eventually be ok to be stuck in their homes all day, and will actually not want to go out at all. "Waiting for someone to love..." - And this is something I am sure many people are experiencing, even the ones who aren't suffering from any social anxiety. "Normal" people might have trouble finding someone to love too, but people who simply don't leave their homes and/or like to talk to other people certainly are just waiting for someone to love. "You're a Cheshire cat, you think a smile hides the rest. Ambiguity will always cover the facts; where do you come from, where do you go." - Being stuck in your home by your own fear isn't something you easily admit, and it is very tempting to make up lies instead. You might not necessarily lie, but not tell the whole truth either. (Hence the use of "ambiguity".) "Must be lonely to be all alone." - There is absolutely no doubt that it is extremely lonely to be in a situation like that. This line is almost like a mockery. It's like someone pouring salt in an already painful wound. Kinda like a reminder that you are all alone. "And when they come, they'll accept you just the way you are." - When that one person you have waited for, for so long actually comes along... They will love you and accept you with your flaws. It's like a promise that when you finally do meet that person, everything will be amazing. "You'll swear under a moonlit sky about rocks in the sky, trees backed up by the sea, thin wild mercury." - This just builds up that amazing-ness that was promised in the previous line. It starts to get all fantasy-like (like someone else mentioned before me) before it gets interrupted by: "Until then, you're waiting for someone to love." - The "until then" part is, again, almost like a mockery. Not necessarily a mockery meant in a cruel way, but just a frustrated mockery. Especially seeing as it interrupted the fantasy going on earlier. |

| The Futureheads – First Day Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
To me, this song is, so obviously, about life: "Welcome to your new job, hope you have a wonderful first day". It's simple: welcome to life. Hope you have a wonderful time here. "We are so happy to have you join the team, you are so lucky on your first day". The team who are welcoming us are the rest of the human kind. And we are being told everyday since we're little kids that we are very lucky to be here, and that life is a blessing. "This is the job that people die for" - of course, no one survives life. Everyone dies in this job. "I hope you're ready for the next stage". Ever since we're little we are being pushed and pushed into growing up. Whether we want to or not. We have to learn how to walk. We have to learn how to speak. We have to learn maths. We have to learn to drive a car. All these things can be interpreted as a stage, or the stages can simply be the different stages of life. Baby, toddler, child, teenager, adult, elderly, death... "A lot of people work in the same place, don't let them get in your way". The world is crowded with people. Unless you don't make your way through, pushing others aside and really making an effort, you won't even be seen. "You like to talk when you're eating, but today you listen to him". You've been taught to push other's aside (like above) but today you'll make an exception and listen to what this fellow worker/human being has to say. "And he says like it or not, you have to do what they say". "They" are the government. You have to do what the government tells you. You must get an education. You must grow up. You must get a job. You must pay bills. You must act normal. You must listen to the government. "And it is something that you would like to talk about, but it is only your first day". Even though you might think that sounds stupid, and you'd like to talk to the government about it, you can't. "It's only your first day" as in you're still so new to this life thing, so you should keep your mouth shut. "And they say faster, faster, it's time to take you to the next stage". Suddenly, you're not a child anymore. Or you're not a teenager anymore. Or you're not an adult anymore! You have to go up to the next level now, fast! "But it's only your first day, and you're not ready for the next stage". But you're not ready for the next stage. You've just begun this job, and you don't know how things work yet. It goes on and on, pushing and pushing on you to grow up, and move to the next level. You're never ready, but you're never given a choice, either. As an 18-year-old, I can totally relate to this. I'm not ready for the next stage, either. |
