I strongly disagree and think you should listen to the song (or at least again). Songs about abuse aren't usually this funky unless it's a Sublime song. I agree w/the partial alphabet poster about it being someone who is as close as family (a band mate maybe?) and there is the desire to fight/argue by one but not the other. My self-explanations/interpretations below: - 'I am our family tree' - They are close and he's not going anywhere - 'I know you A to Z' - He knows how the other behaves and they will withdraw (early night and no phone call) - 'This is a secret proposition' - The secret is he wants the other to throw down and argue/fight instead of avoiding him. - 'Secret Proposition' - is that he wants the other to unload and argue with him instead of being so cordial and 'neighborly' - 'Lay Hands' - is a reference to cause one physical harm out of frustration. - 'hands are shaking' - the nervous tick of the other person who will tremble and walk away instead of standing their ground.when they feel the tension - 'my heart is breaking' - he feels bad for and is frustrated w/the other person - 'Pouring of lemonade' - For the other to acknowledge and share the tension by getting the issue out in the open and 'get it off alright' is the release of the tension/frustration so they can move forward. |
