I read on Stereogum where they think this song is about "the guilt of being on tour, trying to hang out with the psych wizards in Moon Duo when you just want to be back home with your kids" So that very well could be what it means and probably is, but below is what I originally thought (probably wrong) before reading that... he starts out talking about how his "heart has overgrown" (he has let some love grow too much - I'm assuming he loves a girl he's been around) and wonders "do you risk it exploding all over?" This makes me think he's unsure and scared that she won't like him if he tells her that he loves her. "well you better get a load of this one with a load on" - not sure, but might be saying maybe he or she or both should be drunk when he tells her (with a load on - loaded = drunk/fucked up) while also using the term "get a load of this one" like a nonchalant "hey check this out...uh I love you" "the time has come and I believe I've come too, for to tell you but somethin's always in the way" - he keeps wanting to tell her but "somethin's" always keeping him from saying it (his nervousness I'd think) "all right, what now? that's fine, I think I'm ready to claim what's mine, rightfully, yeah..." - I think he's just pepping himself up to tell her he loves her, she's his, etc. etc. "crestfallen, dejected with the east coast crutch daydreamin, through the dark days club mate, on holiday with the Moon Duo (space partners)" - "crestfallen, dejected" - she must have rejected him - he's daydreaming to try not to think about the "dark days" of the rejection - I think the "holiday" drinking club mate (non-acoholic) and hanging with the Moon Duo (a band) probably just saying he's hanging with his friends (probably to east the pain and not think about it) "all right, what now? ...the time has come and i think i came too bleedin, bleedin ever so slightly, yeah... i could have called this saw it a mile away: "baby, stay."" - okay, so the "time came" to tell her and it didn't work (he's "bleedin"), and thinks, man, I could have called this...I knew it wouldn't work (reason he waited so long to tell her in the first place ("somethin's always in the way") - "baby stay" is just a final plea I think |

Pretty sure this song is a subvertation (not really a word but don't know another way to put it) of their old/early songs that were mostly about - sex, drugs, hookers, etc. This one on the other hand says, yeah, I am still into those things, but I don't mind being a little more grown up either (don't mind sentimental girls - not just the f**k em and leave em type) - aka, yeah those early songs were fun and great but that was a different time in my life, I'm a bit older and more mature now so I can't just go around f**king tons of girls and singing about it all the time, although I know you liked those songs a lot). Also, musically, this song sounds like them playing a 10 year old song of theirs, but as you'd expect, it's a little more clean and polished. |

I think this song is simply about a relationship, probably in the early stages of one, where you are really infatuated with someone but you run into a few speed bumps that may make you or your partner question whether it can last. Despite this, you are pleading for the other not to give up ("Don't let go, I need you to hang around") "so broke" - emotionally broken (from whatever issue is causing the problem) "foolishly in love" - not necessarily actually foolish, just some might think it foolish to be "in love" this early on or despite the issues "What did I learn? That it's not that easy" - relationships are hard "when you get burned, then go on burning loud" - not completely sure what this means - could be a couple of things...but I think it more likely means that when you get hurt, it hurts a lot and someone can really tell that you are hurt (because you are "burning loud", i.e. "wearing it on your sleeve") TL;DR - Love is hard, but I want to make this thing work |

Falling to the ground I was anxious to be found You can always go home To the safety of your cloud Don't let go I need you to hang around I'm so broke And foolishly in love I turned around to love revealing What did I learn? It's not that easy When you get burned, then go on burning loud Falling into sound Is that love still feeding back? One day we will go home To the safety of our cloud Don't let go I need you to hang around I'm so broke And foolishly in love I turned around, my life was changing What did I learn? That it's not that easy When you get burned, then go on burning loud Don't let go I need you to hang around I'm so broke And foolishly in love I turned around, my life was changing What did I learn? It's not that easy When you get burned, then go on burning loud ============================= Official Lyrics from DamienJurado.com http://damienjurado.com/lyrics_maraqopa |

his girl has a dirty side hah. Tying him up and all. The ropes that have bound me leave no marks by their knots And though they're your hair that don't mean I'm not caught I know the song of the handcuffs as they scrape across the floor But that new thing you've got I've got no clue what it's for |

from Ryan himself: "one shot- could mean two things. but yes he is in the car and he is wasted and he is about to end his life. I always assume it is from inhalation but the "one shot" was also in there not by accident. sometimes these fuckers I have made up in my songs have a life, and even a death of their own after a while. I try and build them to last. Doesn't always work but it's crazy fun tryin'" |
