| They Might Be Giants – Experimental Film Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
about the life metaphor: the color of infinity could be interpreted as the meaning of the universe, and the inside an empty glass means that when you try to see it, you know that something should be there because things warp around it, but it's actually empty, and there is nothing there. the part where he is squinting his eye could be him trying to find the meaning turning off and on and on and off the light could be him either looking for different ways to find meaning, or show the passage of time he says that it's an experiment, and nobody knows that they're part of it, and it is unsure how it will be carried out. He says that he can't explain it, but he knows that it's great. |

If you don't think of twisting in the wind as being hung, you can find another meaning (many songs by TMBG have multiple meanings). (a bit of forewarning, I largely got the idea for this interpretation from the Name of the Wind, so it might be a bit of a stretch) She's not your satellite she doesn't miss you - you aren't the only person in her life and she doesn't need you. don't overestimate your place in her life. so turn off your smoke machine and Marshall stack - so don't try to fool or coerce her into coming back. She wants to see you again - She wants it, you didn't bring her back she came back, and "see" doesn't always mean anything further. slowly twisting - changing direction, slowly considering returning in the wind - the wind (coincidence) might be causing her to change direction, and not to read to much into it. or she might be just taking one look back before she leaves, and you shouldn't try to use that to bring her back. |

I think the "I've got a weak heart And I don't get around how you get around" part has a few things to it: 1. weak heart means harder to move 2. weak heart means a) easy to break and b) not broken yet 3. i don't get around meaning a) he doesn't know what people think (to get around) or b) if we instead use the phrase "it gets around" it could mean people don't know about him 4. we could interpret not getting around the same way as one going faster, which would mean that the other one would be left behind. this would mean that he is worried about her breaking his heart and leaving him. or i could be wrong |
