| Bombay Bicycle Club – Cancel On Me Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
This song immediately pulled me in. I initially missed the first part of this song when I first heard it, but somewhere in the middle the tone of the song just felt so sad and somber. I immediately felt connected to it. This song caught me during a very painful time in my life where my heart was full of pain and deep sadness over the loss of a person who'm I grew incredibly fond of over time. So free and natural in her way of being, I never had a chance. I think this song talks about a person who's making a decision to finally let go of someone. The tone of the song makes me feel as though the guy is crazy about this girl; you know, thinking about her, fantasizing about her, longing for her. He tries and tries to get this girl on his side, but she continually flakes and cancels on him. It's as though they've already spent a few times together and he's really just trying to recreate those memories and feelings again, but she keeps cancelling on him. He's kind of cast aside with no explanation, no details, no answers. All he has left are memories of them together with a strong yearning to be next to her once more, and a conflicting knowing that that's as far as things are gonna go. Her saying it's not his fault, indicates her outgrowing him. Hence, it's not his fault. His wavering voice transmits the helplessness, sadness, and pain of this knowledge, as well as his still very strong and real emotion of missing and longing for her. The verse then goes off to talk about death in a symbolic metaphorical way? I believe he talks about humanity's stay here on earth. We're all here on earth for only one reason, to see how it's all gonna end. With this in mind, we go through adventures, hardships, joys, sorrows, we go through people, not knowing how it's gonna end. We experience these incredibly deep and real emotions with other people, not knowing if we'll ever get to see that person again. Traversing the world with no certainty of ever seeing it again the next day. I think the comparison of this fact or "fact" along with his feelings and memories of this girl just make those fragments of his life so much more precious and beautiful and meaningful. He ends the song by envisioning her running up to him and embracing him with feeling. Admitting to himself that he knows where those thoughts are gonna lead him, heartache; but naively still dreaming of her coming to find him, and by revealing THAT, acknowledges his growth from that experience (That was the boy I used to be) and his letting go of her, only to backslide again into dreaming of her. Repeating the whole experience again in his mind. A true hopeless romantic. |
