| Miike Snow – In Search of Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| He is seeking redemption. Redemption from what, I'm not sure but he has wounded others in the past and he hopes simply to live long enough to balance the score. He never mentions that he wants to repair the damage, only that he wants a remedy for the pain he feels. This is an all consuming quest as he states over and over "but we won't back down from anything, in search of a remedy". Make a living can mean more than finacial profit, it can also mean anything that a person needs or wants, companions or property. | |
| Miike Snow – A Horse Is Not a Home Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
"A horse is not a home" is an old saying from the American cowboy days. In most cases it is directed at the traditional cowboy always roaming on horse back, he is a rambling man. The horse is not necessary his physical horse but his ever-on-the-move-never-satisfied lifestyle. This lifestyle, while addicting and exciting comes at the cost of not having a home (family, a consistent companion, etc...). This song is about a man becoming tiring of this lifestyle and wishing for something other than the steam of meaningless connections in his life. He does mention, just once that he is dreaming of someone, I assume to be a past lover whom he regrets leaving. "Sometimes I swim with you in a room that is ocean sized and clear Not here where all I breath is smoke". He made a conscious choice when he decided on his lifestyle but it does come with regrets. Someday, hopefully he will find a place to settle, though just for a time. |
