And I guess I don't really understand "gloss"--I suppose the suggestion is that reality is somehow "naked" in the reflections of shiny cars, but I don't entirely know what that could mean. Also, if it IS "cause," then "And depression is nothing compared to what's in store for them." If it's gloss, why is there something in store for the car owner? Because it's fancy, so they're rich and overspend? |

| By "notion" I guess I just mean that I like the sarcasm and sadness of the speaker's frustration with the self-centered actions of people such as people who cut in front of others all the time on the street. | |

Listen after listen, I think this is my favorite Cymbals Eat Guitars song. Easily the most varied track on the album, I just love every bit of it. I could sing it a cappella from start to finish without listening it again! Anyway, are we absolutely positive that the lyric is: "And I'm visited by naked reality In the higher gloss of the cars that cut in front of me" And not: "And I'm visited by naked reality In the higher CAUSE of the cars that cut in front of me" I seem to recall in another comment that the CEG lyrics on SongMeanings are all directly from the album booklet, so perhaps it is "gloss"--I'll just have to write a song about the "higher cause" of cars that cut in front of me, because I love that notion. |
