Westerners swaggering into town to educate the masses, colonise them - arrogance, superiority complex. China gave the world opium - using opiates (heroin) removes the above urges. So, China Girl seduces & disempowers Western Man. |

| fun. – Some Nights Lyrics | 13 years ago |

I think the lyric is "When I hear songs, they sound like this one". Every song he hears is a battle cry for one cause or another. Some nights he's not sure the cause is worth the sacrifice. |

^^ interesting interpretation, i hadn't thought of it that way. it struck me more that we are all going to our graves, we are all cephalophores if you like. some people are bothered about that, some aren't so much. i think this person has seen someone who isn't too bothered that they will die some day? and likes the attitude, and says so. however the object of their interest has indeed heard it all before from a variety of insincere people and so doesn't really believe it. what the singer likes is that the person is not available to be controlled. all he really wants (like many before) is to control her. and he should know that if he could control her, he wouldn't want her anymore. she knows it. he doesn't. |
