| She & Him – This Is Not a Test Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
With Zooey being a famous actress, I've taken this song to be talking about her experiences after reaching success. "For those of you who tried but didn't make it, settle down it's never what you think" referring to aspiring actors who never made it big, and have an idealistic image of what it means to succeed in the acting world. "The summit doesn't differ from the big dark valley" as in, even though she's working on big films, it's no different from working at the bottom. "The valley doesn't differ from the kitchen sink" - I thought about the idea of singing by the kitchen sink, versus singing in a band. People think of it as being quite glorified, to be a successful singer, but in the end, it's the same as doing it alone. For the chorus, I was thinking it relates to the idea of only having one go, and there's no point waiting around for your name to be called–just go for it. |
