| Miike Snow – A Horse Is Not a Home Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
A one night stand is not like a real loving relationship. The song is about meaningless bar hookups after a meaningful relationship breakup. The "horse" is a "ride", literally sex (cowboy position). While the yellow horse is the cab ride. The part about being "forced to ride, in morning traffic, with a golden hand by your fortress side, but without magic" is being on a taxi very late at night (early morning) with a one night stand (golden hand) and driving by the ex' house (fortress side). "Sometimes I swim with you in a room that's ocean sized" refers to him daydreaming about the ex, both being alone where nobody else matters. The part about "only breathing smoke" refers to after-sex smoke and smoke-filled bars where hookups take place It generally talks about the superficial and fake stance one keeps when hooking up, how it can be both nice yet unfulfilling, since we all crave real love, especially after loosing someone special. |
