| The Temper Trap – Sweet Disposition Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I think this song might be about bipolar, even if it was unintentional I think anyone going through it could relate to these lyrics.. A disposition can mean someone's temperament so "sweet disposition" would be when this person was in a good/rational mood and I think this song is talking about this guy who is in love with a girl who suffers from bipolar (so she has crazy mood swings,especially if type 3 where they can come and go quite quickly) and he wants to hold onto her whilst she is the "sweet disposition" even though he knows too well it won't last. "A moment [she is a]love, a dream aloud,a kiss [then] a cry" - an abrupt shift in mood. "So stay there because I'll be coming over" - stay in this "normal"/rational state. "It runs" - the course of her mood "And we won't stop until it's over Won't stop to surrender" we won't stop being in this moment, won't blink, won't look away until this mood ends and she becomes manic or depressed again... Just my interpretation on the lyrics |

i love this song so much!! the lyrics have really confused me though not to mention the video :/ i think it might be that the boy in it is a younger version of the lead singer and so he's reminicing about a childhood sweetheart (the girl in it) that he clearly cared for and would do anything to be with her but she kept hurting him "And I feel like I'm breaking up, and I wanted to stay, Headlights on the hillside, don't take me this way,I don't want you to hold me" and "this is bigger than us" meaning that their relationship was way more mature than them... i think then the rest of it is the older, wiser him is saying that he doesn't want her anymore and that things WILL improve eventually with time "I don't need your tears I don't want your love" BUT in the end he carries her back to the young boy because even though he knows she messed him up, he wouldn't have changed a thing becuase she's made him into who he is today and the she gave him some really happy memories.... okay i've gone on for to long!! haha |
