| Barcelona – It's About Time Lyrics | 14 years ago |

this is my own interpretation of the song, in the context of my life. one more day down these stairs his room is cold now and it hurts like hell he holds tight, he stares it�s almost over and it�s running through his head they don�t know me they don�t know more than i show she�s walking up to him so slowly it�s about time, it�s about time to fly away but wait, this one is different 'cause she�s lonely fold your wings, you�ll need them more one day to me, this is the boy saying he's going to kill himself. "one more day down these stairs" and "it's almost over" seem to be referring that this is his last day on earth and he doesn't have to deal with his loneliness anymore, since he never truly connected with anyone enough to reveal his true self. he also states "it's about time to fly away," possibly from this world. he then sees or meets a girl, and he sees that she is different from anyone he has met before because she is like him, and he decides that he wont kill himself, so he folds his wings knowing that he'll leave this world another day, but not just yet. one more smile, one more bed her eyes are dark now and they hurt like hell she�s so still, she�s dead she knows it�s over, she holds her head and says, they can�t love me they can�t love what i don�t show he�s walking up to her so slowly it�s about time, it�s about time to fly away but wait, this one is different 'cause he�s lonely fold your wings, you�ll need them more the girl in the song is a girl who has done regrettable things in her past, mainly involving sleeping with a lot of men in order to find the right one. she eventually realizes that the men she sleeps with obviously don't love her because she's never shown her true self, just as the boy, she's only shown her smile, which i'm interpreting as her good looks, before they hop into bed. she meets the boy from the earlier verse and just as she's about to 'fly away' she realizes that he is going through the same issues that she has. and honestly i have no clue how to interpret the first person verses, i can't even surely determine who is narrating it. anyway, that is my own personal interpretation of it, i hope someone else sees it the way i do. |
