| Why? – Gemini (Birthday Song) Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Soooo..... I'm not going to analyze this too much because I think we will never be able to decipher each and every lyrics and that is kind of the beauty of it, each person can interpret it in the way they want. However, I do want to share the general idea I get from it. I thinks it is just illustrating one relationship that haunts him throughout a lifetime, one where he feels much more for this girl than she does for him. From the first verse I get that she is just that kind of girl, the one who acts like she doesn't really care about anything and it is all just a stepping stone to the next place she's going. He loves her very much, and is just recalling memories. I think he might subconciously realize it won't last. Then, they part, and he fools himself into thinking that it meant enough to both of them to last, though it doesn't. He grows old and still recalls their relationship. He's sees now that she never really cared. I think that "I asked you to kiss my pulse. you offer to start the shower. I want a verb and you give me a noun." Is just showing that she is never really giving him what he asked for, especially when that thing is something really intimate that will involve emotion beyond just enjoying sex. "What do you dream up while I tongue you down?" While they're being intimate, her mind is somewhere else. And then the very, very last stanza shows that they were together so much that she knows him very well, yet still doesn't love him. |

| The Killers – Mr. Brightside Lyrics | 15 years ago |

I think this song is just about thinking that whoever you are with is cheating on you, and the jealously and paranoia that are all consuming with these suspicions. "Now I'm falling asleep And she's calling a cab While he's having a smoke And she's taking a drag Now they're going to bed And my stomach is sick And it's all in my head But she's touching his chest now He takes off her dress now Let me go Because I just can't look, it's killing me And taking control" I believe that this part is just saying what he is imagining is going on with his girl and this other man, hence the "and it's all in my head." "Let me go/ I just can't look it's killing me and taking control." I repeat- all- consuming. And then the course is all about jealously, to make anything more of it would be over-analalyzing. And yes, the music video does seem to have a Moulin Rouge-ish prostitute theme, but if you watch a lot of music videos, you'll see that they aren't all exact interpretations of the songs. Many of them are simply stories or scenes the artist feels might match the feel of the song. |
