| Perfect Confusion – Autumn Breeze Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| Yo, just slightly updating my last comment from a year ago. I've turned to underground rap now and have lost a passion for alternative and indie rock. It seems that someone has changed here. Even with this change of heart, I'll still remember my past. | |

Heh, well after listening to the song for a bit, I also think that the song is about a person who has already changed, but cannot change back to his former self; and of course, this follows his comments about his destruction of the world etc. This doesn't have much to do with the meaning in particular, but during the first chorus, I usually picture some guy chasing a girl only to see its his silhouette and then he gets into a Mexican standoff within one of those old wild west settings(music after chorus sounds like Mexican standoff music) and proceeds to try to shoot his silhouette down only to miss, in order to make up for his lost efforts, he decides to gun down the buildings around him. |

Seeing as to how there are no interpretations, I'll provide one myself. I believe that this song is about a person who wants to change, but can't. Maybe its because of his lack of self-control or past. He keeps looking at himself and trying to change but his silhouette(past self) is still there, and looking at his past from his present self. Since he can't change his destructive personality, he'll just make everyone else life worse, for revenge or just because of his personality. I find that the exact opposite of this song is written by Perfect Confusion AKA Cage the Elephant themselves. Rubber ball is literally about just loving everything and he is able to produce a positive influence. One main idea of change comes from his drug addiction. Matt Shultz can't change himself and his addiction in Autumn Breeze, but he finally does change himself in Rubber Ball. the progess of Cage the Elephant really show the progress of Matt's problems and how he feels about them. Its good to see that one doesn't forget his past. |
