| MGMT – I Found a Whistle Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I think that this song could be about fame, a relationship or friendship. The first time I heard this song, the word whistle reminded of some one blowing a whistle for help. Also, many hunting dogs are trained to come to their masters by the blow of a whistle. In the first line he is definitely referencing that he could blow the whistle as he is hanging for a noose and some one (his fans, a friends, or a girl) would immediately be there for him. The whistle "hangs like a charm," meaning it is always there and reliable source of help. Hey I've got a pistol that's aimed at your heart and on dark nights when the moon is right I could show you the head attached with a scarf aerophane sorceress, at home obeying the fates when it's gone, has it gone all the way? I think that this part of the song refers to a relationship or friendship that has been polluted by fame. When he says that he has "got a pistol that's aimed at you heart," I think he telling that he is trying to force the same relationship/friendship to work out. He has to do this "on dark nights when the moon is right" because his fame gets in the way of it. In the last line, he is wondering if after his fame and popularity is over, will his relationship go back to normal? |
