| Franz Ferdinand – Brief Encounters Lyrics | 12 years ago |

Literally it's about swinging, yes. But for me it's more about being bored in an unsuccessful relationship, when everything became routine and monotonous. There's no love left, only habit and fear of being alone. With this happening swinging seems to be a solution to such state, but as the lyrics show it doesn't really help it just postponed the ending. Maybe the swinging represents the reality - choose your keys - we all have a right to 'choose our keys', but that doesn't mean, we have chosen the right one. Maybe also misunderstanding the right of chosing with being obliged to choose and behaving as others expect you to do (be in relationship, get married, pretend to be happy), which in most cases lead to being bored and unhappy in relationship. |
