This song, to me, is about that big argument a lot of couples go through. Here's my breakdown: The sky looks pissed/the wind talks back -the actual argument between you and your lover The bones are shifting in my skin/ and you my love, are, gone. -That awkward feeling of being "shaken" after an argument with your bf/gf and they end up storming off. My room seems wrong/ the bed won't fit -an interpretation of how one feels when your alone in a room that you used to share with your significant other, the room "seems" wrong. The part that touches me the most is the line "the bed won't fit" I feel that the actual bed won't fit in the room, but the loneliness one feels when you lye in bed and it feels so big without the other person next to you, the bed itself when you lye on it doesn't seem to fit, if anything it feels too big. I cannot seem to operate/ and you my love are gone -you've gotten so used to doing everything with your bf/gf that even simple tasks seem difficult to preform. when their gone RERERERERERERERE This is a RE: Response to the conundrum of the line "so glide away on soapy heels" I was first introduced to this song through a friend who sang this to me, beautifully if i might add, and she sang this line differently, and in no disrespect to Michaelson, but i much prefer my friend's re-verse. instead of "so glide away and so be heeled" -something i can never wrap my mind around in replace with "so fly away and so be healed" -meaning, let your bf/gf go to think about the argument. let them reflect on what was said, what one should have or shouldn't have said. and promise not to promise anymore - the cause of the argument, breaking promises and if you come around again/then i will take the chains from off the door -When your bf/gf has come to realize what went wrong, and has summed up enough courage to come back and apologize, only then, shall you take the chains from off the door. the door whether meaning literally (door of the aparatment), or the door to your heart, both interpretation suffice in my book. Let me know what you think, THANKS! |
