| 'Stay down champion, stay down' is a line from Tall Saint, that song didn't make it onto the album but is featured on the Virginia EP. Great song. | |

Matt Berninger once said about 'Green Gloves' "It was hard to take that song and guide it away from being a stalker song or about somebody breaking and entering or somebody violating someone’s personal space. It’s more about trying to remember someone and sort of be them–someone that you’ve lost your connection with (maybe because of a death)–so you reconnect with them by getting inside their clothes, watching their videos, getting in their bed. You miss them so much you have to become them." I think the same theory could be set to this song. He's lost his lover somehow and he's just reacting to that. At first he's going out trying to forget and have a good time but by the end of the song he misses her so much he dresses in her clothes, starts to talk like her to remember her. This is just my interpretation. |
