Shannon you're smothering me. Shannon you can have my backbone if you want. Yeah fine, boss me around. Shannon you're smothering me. Shannon stop smothering me. I can be a good man for you. Shannon I love you. (False promises) Yeah, yeah. I'm gonna go down to drink with my buddies for an hour or so if that's okay. (Spends the next 25 years drinking with his buddies for "an hour or so") |

Simply put: I think we should break up. Either that or: I'm leaving you for my mistress. Both ways I'm leaving you. Beautiful song. |

| Margot & the Nuclear So and So's – Broadripple Is Burning Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
This is Margot's most popular song so my interpretation isn't going to mean very much in the mix of things but this is the first Margot song I ever heard and it means a lot to me, here goes: Firstly, as other users have tried to clarify, Broad Ripple Village and Fountain Square are both places in Indianapolis and the band originates from there. Now this part is a little bit of a theory (it's all relative, though heh) but I think the first verse might be him saying that he's not like other guys, he won't be "picking up chicks" like those other boys in the neighborhood and that she's special, she's not a soulless party girl... And that's the beginning of the relationship. Everything's great, he loves her and that's all that matters. Then when she's "whispering" in Fountain Square it's after their first fight and him being lost is: "what, you don't love me anymore?" and he hits her. To me, this song spells abusive relationship to me: I think he's saying "Don't you dare f***ing leave me, if you do I'll kill you then myself, or just myself: "I'll be hanging by a rope... Don't f***ing move, or everything you thought you have'll go to shit (You think this is a game, b****?)..." and I'll haunt you like a ghost is saying "If you leave I will find you. I will find you, and kill you." And We've got a lot is "I take care of you, I work my ass off for you." Then in the middle of this chaos he's an alcoholic and he thinks he can feel her judgment (What, you think you're better than me?) and he's telling her work or school is stressful and he just needs to wind down and that it's none of her business... But then the "If my woman was a fire part" says something a slightly different than a belligerent rampage. I think it's a little obvious that he's saying he'd be *re-building the fire* with flammables like whiskey and that part has a little bit of a metaphor to it. He's saying that once he's drunk his woman is somehow improved (her looks, attitude maybe) and life is a little better when he's wasted... Well of course it's a little better, you're hammered. I think she eventually leaves him (When the woman you love is gone she is bombing East Japan) and all hell breaks lose, he freaks the f*** out, obviously. It's kind of odd but a lot of this stuff just started coming to me when I was writing it out, I always thought that it was about an abusive relationship but not to the extent written here, I'm honestly impressed with myself. Best regards, PlasterWhore |

| Margot & the Nuclear So and So's – Lunatic, Lunatic, Lunatic Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
I think he's talking about the town whore with severe issues. The guys in town just treat her like a bag of skin and bone and think that she just likes being screwed and that's all but the singer is saying that he sees something much more than that inside of her, that she's been f***ed around a lot and has very low self-esteem. I also think that somewhere he's implying part of the reason she's a "lunatic" is because something really bad happened that destroyed her (e.g. an abortion, rape ETC) "She sheds her top... She hops the bar... She claims that she's a feminist..." This is all her acting out, but I think "She claims that she's a feminist" is her trying to disassociate those two parts of her-- Whore and person. Brilliant, like all of their incoherently morose. |

| Margot & the Nuclear So and So's – Love Song For A Schuba's Bartender Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| I think it's very silly if you try to interpret this as anything other than Richard attempting to bang the Schuba's Bartender. He did play there solo on New Year's eve a few years back. | |
| Margot & the Nuclear So and So's – A Journalist Falls in Love with Death Row Inmate #16 Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
I don't believe that this song has any sort of symbolism, I do think that it is just telling a story of a journalist that falls for a "Grim Reaper Prince". At first I thought the line of "And how all the girls were jealous line" just meant she was going kind of crazy and excusing all of the ways that people are judging her love for this man with jealousy and that it had no correlation to "He cut my lungs out" but upon further pondering I think that he actually murdered and seriously carved her lungs out and she literally could not breath and when it came to "How all the girls were jealous" she was saying all of his late girlfriends were jealous of her in death. (I love how Richard casually just laid in "He cut my lungs out" in the mix of their date / last meal, I'm assuming.) |
