| Portugal. The Man – The Bottom Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I feel like its too literal to just be about war. I was thinking possibly about a lover, who is too overbearing and controlling. "They spilled down the steps Filed in rows like hair likes to pour Like skin loves to warm" "But teeth don't pull like these chains don't drag around" as in the teeth-pulling agony of war doesn't compare to the agony of being dragged around in chains by someone you love "I know what I know And all I ever need is you" and the worst part is he still loves them no matter how much they torment him but it could also possibly be about them living in Alaska, and being safe from war and the like "because it's safe at the bottom" could be referring to their home in Alaska as the "bottom" of the earth? or, I know they lived in Wasilla. So possibly they lived just south, or at the "bottom" of, Lake Wasilla? I feel like this meaning applies more to "Dawn", which also has the line "it's safe at the bottom", but maybe it carries over to this song too just my thoughts on it |
