"Say something awful As if fucking the world is your right And I watch you stumble Drunk out into the night To cat call ladies You're thirsty for blood, you're picking a fight And I wanted to ask you Man, what do you do in the daylight" Could be related to the character and his lack of respect to the women or "hookers in heels" and how he talks to them when he is drunk in the night. The "I" is possibly the singer viewing the behaviour and thinking that the male character is treating the world as if it is his property or his "right." The line relating to thirst for blood could be taken as the male character looking for a fight or looking for one of the ladies. The other character/ singer then asks what the man does in the day, due to his night time activities. Run into me sunday "Tell me you had one hell of a time And through the haze and the gun smoke, i'm forced to believe You're probably right Someone lies bleeding Someone got violent and did not think twice And i watched you my brother, making a fool of the moon tonight" This verse is possibly related to the male telling the singer that he had a great time the previous night, which is not fully convincing to the singer, who possibly believes the friend is trying to hide his true emotions with the "gun smoke" and "haze." The next lines relating to violence possibly relates to some of the violent imagery on the streets and the fights the male friend is possibly getting into on the nights out. The "brother" could be taken literally as a sibling, or possibly as a close friend, who is making a fool of himself through the violence and disrespect when out in the night. "So bum me a cigarette, buy me a beer Till I'm happy to be here, happy to be here With all of my family, hookers in heels And the men who watch them like hungry black eels" The main character/ singer is not enjoying his friends choice of night time activity, so he is forced to put on a front to look happy through cigarettes and beer, he then tells his friend that he is happy to be out with him, despite not fully enjoying it. The "family" could be related to the loneliness of the male character turning him to treat the "hookers in heels" negatively or as if they were his family, like all the other men who watch them like "hungry black eels," "hunger" implying a sense of desperation and "black eels" perhaps being the men disguising their feelings in a mysterious way. *My interpretation - not necessary the actual song meaning, just what I thought when I heard the song |
