| The National – You Were a Kindness Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I interpret the lyrics to fit a situation of my own. I think that it is about losing someone you loved so intensely when you were young (possibly a first love) but still loving them as you feel that they were your one. It is about having to live life without them and the pain you feel (for me, we broke up because we went to college) "I was in a fog, I didn't notice everything Was coming all apart inside of me" This to me is about being so in love that you don't realise how deeply attached and perhaps dependant upon your love you have become. It hurts the most when you lose this. "I'll do what I can to be a confident wreck Can't feel this way forever, I mean" It's about living with the pain of knowing you lost someone that you loved so much. Possibly your soulmate. And hoping that it will one day pass. I think the other lyrics are reasonably self explanatory to this meaning. |
