That's quite possible, initiating a balance in his life to hopefully make things better for himself. In that case, this song would be the exact opposite of Rush's 'Animate,' from their album "Counterparts." But then, explain what this "gun-shy sunshine" is, how does that fit into the equation? Who is this other person that the speaker is addressing when saying "your," multiple times? |

| Silversun Pickups – The Royal We Lyrics

Couldn't agree more; winning comment here. It's the most rocking song and probably the best musically, but the lyrics are definitely primarily intended to represent addiction, not some true alliance. The "alliance" would be between the addict and their addiction - the royal we is in reality a mirage(the addiction and the addict's lies to his/herself). Though, I do believe that this song, like any well written song, can be applied to most anything. The creator's intent isn't all that matters; if one wants to apply it to war or battle, let them. It doesn't mean they are right or wrong, but in this case they would be taking a quite immature as well as Jenna said, "bureaucratic" of them. The song is really a starting point of the album from where the character of the story that is told begins falling deeper into their "swoon." That's why this song was followed by 'There's No Secrets This Year,' the "secrets" are undoubtedly some of these addictions and vices which the person has fallen victim to. |
