| St. Vincent – The Party Lyrics | 11 years ago |

A cute song in my opinion. She was left speechless and when she tried to be honest, she didn't have enough time to say everything that she wanted to say him. Honestly, this particular song is exactly what I love the most about St. Vincent. Her feelings are totally transparent with the tone and style of this particular song. You can tell that there is a certain reminiscing longing or regret. But when it actually comes down to the lyrics, it is almost impossible to interpret them. Which is something I love about her lyrics. There is no right answer. So I will take a swing at it. I think this song is talking about not having enough time to say all the things she wants to say to the person she likes and time not being in her favor. Especially with the first few lines, It's pretty obvious that she was not able to say all the things she wanted to say. Therefore she is unable to find closure especially when it comes down to the part where her pockets resemble two white flags. Maybe she had been in denial at some point or time and is basically saying she waited so long and is tired of hiding her true feelings for this person. She is sick of all the excuses or missed opportunities, or overthinking that we are all victims of doing (me personally, overthinking is used as a defense mechanism) these "white flags" means that there are no more tricks up her sleeves. But in the end there is no one to blame. At some point of time maybe she blamed herself or him for all the missed opportunities. She may have lost a lot of time thinking too hard and switching back and fourth with excuses in that denial stage. Hence, "Oh there aren't enough hands to point all the fingers." The creaks in the chair as well as the hands may symbolize time just like the "ticking and tocking" that she had mentioned earlier in the song. As time keeps on moving forward, she feels stuck and she doesn't know how to move on. She is only left with one option which is to only surrender and finally confront her feelings and be honest. The only problem is, like with any other person we like, we become shy and sometimes we don't know how to be transparent with our words/ actions. |

wow. extremely haunting. this is actually one of my favorite songs on their album. to live like common people I never think i'll do and so my love I give in to this dark to live like common people I never think i'll do in defiance of a love not realized The first lines basically says that they don't think that they can ever have that real relationship that most couples usually have and so this person is willing to "live" inside their own visions of what a relationship and love could be with that person that they can never have. After a break up, it is common to think that we refuse to accept that it's really over. To me, I think this person is in denial but despite it, they are willing to spend the rest of their life re-living the past over and over again. I remember after my crazy(not my best lol) phase with my exbf. I would take night drives to all the places we had ever went. It was a numbing experience. I would just sit there in front of the store, or bench, etc. and try to replay those memories in my head. |
