| Never seen them live sadly. Hopefully they'll be somewhere in my area soon. | |

That last line gets me every time. Beautiful! "You wouldn't see this smile leave my face for all eternity" |

@jedontrack: Interesting addition :) That line "no getting rid of me" always left me a bit puzzled. Judging from her "model's feet" she's a pretty girl so I doubt she's a social outcast, although that would be still possible. Could be just the opinion of the author and really only actually refer to her feet. With such a complex life I'm sure multiple factors and reasons would contribute to suicide, so I think you're interpretation seems very plausible. Thanks for the reply! |

This song just gets me every time I hear it. Not only because of the message but also because of the way it's performed. The music, the dramatic voices (but what did you expect!?) and the flow of the sentences. Perfect example is: 'At fourteen her mother died in a routine operation, from allergic reaction to a general anesthetic.' I love the way the words 'routine operation' 'allergic reaction' and 'general anesthetic' create a rhythm when spoken like that. As for interpretation: IMHO this is a life story ending in suicide. Sitting at the pier, she finally jumps into the sea. And all you can feel your lungs flooding with water, your life flash before your eyes in a moment that feels like an eternity. I always connect the moment you know you die to acceptance, letting go of it all, a feeling of omnipresence maybe. At that moment you see it all, what lies behind, what lies in front.. in perfect symmetry. |
