Have no phone conversations = Have MY OWN conversations. have thrown their backs out trying to live = have thrown their backs out trying to LIFT IT They keep turning their lights on = they keep turning their lights OFF And everything is lonely = WHEN everything is lonely When I start polishing in the evening= THE MASK I POLISH in the evening but what I tell you in the evening by the morning won't make sense = THE LOVE I SELL YOU IN THE EVENING BY THE MORNING WON'T EXIST Only say you'll be right back = ALWAYS say you'll be right back medicine = medication So simple in the moonlight 3x at the end. |

Everything about this song is so on point, I get emotional just reading the lyrics. The bit about the Grandmother relates to me completely because my grandmother chooses to wither away in her house by herself no matter what my family tries to do. I have had a difficult time expressing honest emotion for most of my life, I felt like I was exposed if I did. I try to solve things myself, I kept everything inside, I would never let anyone help me with my problems or open up to anyone. I was a complete wreck but I didn't want anyone to see it. When I was 17 I was extremely close to giving up on everything. I had lost myself even more thanks to an abusive relationship. I was made to believe that I was worthless, I had to earn love that would never come. I would cry every night and hope that he would return back to the same person that he was in the beginning. I hated myself for not being good enough, I felt like I was a burden to everyone. I accepted the idea that I wasn't going to be happy and just gave in. I went along with whatever he wanted thinking that I deserved it, I felt nothing, I started getting physically sick and I couldn't eat, It felt like I was constantly shaking and scared. I came so close to ending my life, I went to bed bleeding and I didn't much care if I woke up in the morning. I obviously woke up the next morning, I met up with him, he didn't notice the marks or anything ( or he didn't care), he just went on with the normal abuse. A few weeks later: out of nowhere a feeling came over me that I was better than that and I ended everything with him. (right at the start of spring) "I wrote this for a baby Who has yet to be born My brother's first child I hope that womb's not too warm Cause it's cold out here And it'll be quite a shock To breathe this air To discover loss So I'd like to make some changes Before you arive So when your new eyes meet mine They won't see no lies Just love. Just love." ^That whole section was just about healing for me. I had to learn how to ask for help, I had to make changes, I had to allow myself to feel. I wanted to feel alive, I wanted to learn how to love myself so I could give love. So in a weird way the "baby" kind of related to a part of me that wasn't "born" yet. I actually have a tattoo of the words "like snow, like gold" with a withering flower on my hip. I want to be able to stay pure to myself now that I feel alive. I never want to be in the place that I was again. This song saved me in a way. I will be pure, like snow, like gold. I'm sorry if none of this makes any sense, haha. |

I'll take a shot at a bit of the meaning. I think this song could be about people using what they think could be quick fixes. The whole let's have a party, let's have a baby sections go along with the idea of quick fixes. For some reason when people are unhappy they turn to partying, getting drunk and high. When people are having problems in a relationship they think having a baby will fix everything. But in reality those things just make a bad situation worse. Let's make it evil. |

I think that this song is about a boy who obviously was forced to grow up fast by all the things that he was exposed to at a young age. Those things could have been drugs, alcohol, sex, pain, or all of the above. I'm guessing that he was exposed to so much growing up that it could have dulled his expectations of the world and made him doubt the good in people and the good in himself. He may have developed a strong fear of being hurt scince that's all he ever knew, so he refuses to open himself to those who care for him. The girl is saying in my eyes that she wishes that she could do something to make him unafraid to feel something for someone. Play him a song that reminds him of a time when he was a child, so innocent, so open and accepting, a song that would make him wonder why he is so cold now, a song that would help him see that not everyone is out to hurt him. |
