I think it's about how vanity can get the best of people, especially like the spoiled girl he knows. People kill themselves trying to be perfect and better than everyone else. And when people grow up rich and are just given everything they want, it creates a false sense of entitlement and the ideology that they can do no wrong. "You got your figure all nice But the heart stays colder than ice You got 25 grand on the bubble And you're the one telling me that you don't think you're in trouble I might be a fan of your insolence But that don't make you the innocent You're just like the rest of those girls" I'm really not sure, but if I had to guess, this verse might be referring to spending excessive amounts of money on plastic surgery. "25 grand on the bubble" doesn't make a lot of sense, but the previous line, "you got your figure all nice," is pretty obviously about someone who has changed their figure in some way, likely with plastic surgery, so maybe "25 grand on the bubble" is just a badly phrased metaphor for having cosmetic surgery on whatever body part is supposed to be the "bubble." Haha. Really, I don't know. |

| Band of Skulls – Honest Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| I get the feeling that it's about overcoming an addiction or a bad habit. Like most people who have gone through withdrawals know, you spend a lot of time wondering how you're going to make it through to the next day. Also, something I personally do is repeat the same phrases over and over again to myself.....Like, "If you can make it another minute, you can do another hour." And being honest with yourself is the most important part, because if you tell yourself that you don't have a problem that needs to be fixed, you won't fix it. I get the sense that a lot of their song lyrics are about addiction. | |
