With the situation I am in right now, I have interpreted the song as the beginning of falling in love. "Don't wanna talk anymore I'm obsessed with silence I go home and I lock my door I can hear the sirens Don't wanna talk anymore I'm obsessed with silence I go home and I lock my door I can hear the sirens" I'm so caught up in my emotions and I'm trying to figure them out, I want silence, I want to be alone as I realize that I am falling in love. Sirens are blaring as if it's dangerous. At this point of the song, I am unsure of how I am feeling about the situation. "I repair myself when you're not there" I go over every last detail of when we last met, calming my excitement and nervousness and almost 'reviewing it' because before I did that I didn't really know what his actions meant, if he liked me, if he found me odd etc and I won't be settled until I know the intention of his actions for certain. "Something you consider rare I don't wanna be compared With that cheap shimmer and glitter" It's like I'm the one for him, I'm better than the other girls; I'm a diamond; I'm genuine I'm beautiful etc. "I'm in love with the ice-blue, gray skies of England I'll admit, all I wanna do is get drunk and silent Watch my life unfold all around me Like a beautiful garden I see flowers so tall, they surround me Oh my heart, it became so hardened" I believe this describes the approach of being in love. It's beautiful, you just let it happen and I just want to get drunk and be with him, lay my head on his shoulder in the silence. My heart became hardened because for me, being in love my heart doesn't feel like a balloon in my chest. It feels really heavy, and something hard like a diamond the size of a heart in your chest would be heavy. "And all the other jewels around me They astounded me at first I covered up my heart in boundaries And all the fakes, they called me cursed But I'm not cursed, I'm not cursed I was just covered in dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt" I feel like this is the revelation that I am in love, and it is great (I'm not cursed). I will allow myself to love (heart in boundaries), I will take this risk and allowing myself to take this risk is like removing my dirt. |

I feel like the first verse is introducing a person. A person who is a coward and fool but the narrator still cares for the person, almost like a mother trying to teach her child of the mistakes. The mother is trying to teach her child of the world, but it's difficult because the mother keeps making the same mistakes, and has regret. "And I'm a goddamn coward, but then again so are you" The mother trying to teach her child not to make mistakes (to be afraid of the ""lion's roar"") but she is still afraid And the lion's roar, the lion's roar (something they are both afraid of or a mistake they keep regretting) Has me evading and hollering for you (trying to look for comfort in her child) And I never really knew what to do |
