| Interpol – Stella Was a Diver and She Was Always Down Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
Stella was a diver, and she was always down *cough* always down *cough* I know it's probably about alcoholism, and it's definitely not about about f*ing drowning, but I always thought that it was about a prostitute. "But she once fell through the street Down a manhole in that bad way" Lol... Innuendo. "She was all right, yeah, the sea was so tight, airtight" Yeah... so tight, huh? "At the bottom of the ocean she dwells At the bottom of the ocean she dwells From crevices caressed by fingers And fat blue serpent swells Stella, Stella, oh Stella Stella I love you, Stella I love you, Stella I love you" First two lines meaning that prostitution is usually perceived as the bottom in terms of your direction in life, and it's considered morally low... Also, she could be depressed. Next two lines are OBVIOUS innuendos And the next two lines are those said by the man she's having sex with. "Well, she was my catatonic sex toy, love-joy diver Well, she was my catatonic sex toy, love drug diver She went down, down, down there into the sea, Yeah, she went down, down, down there Down there for me, right on So good, oh yeah, right on" First two lines are pretty clear. Next two, SHE WENT DOWN INTO THE SEA. DOWN THERE FOR ME. I think we know what that means. She was giving head. "Right on" That pretty much sums it up. |

@[joefox:2898] Are you the same person that wrote the one about drowning on Obstacle 1? It doesn't work, okay?! |

@[paradigmshift:2897] It sounds similar to "Friends don't waste time when there's words to tell", as well. And everything you said. I really like the idea of the play on words idea you had. Don't waste your whine, there's words to tell/sell! |

I believe it's about a friendzone type thing, as Goldenx states. It fits a lot of the lyrics. It's CERTAINLY not about drowning, lmao!! The logic used in that interpretation was incredibly twisted, no offense. I think that person might just have had an idea and stuck to it, even though the lyrics don't hint that at all. "but she can read, she can read, she can read, she's bad, she's bad" The boy wants a relationship with his friend who's a girl, but she can read into what that might mean/turn out to be, so she doesn't comply. "she's bad". Pretty much all of the lyrics show some sort of infatuation with a girl. And the lyrics above suggest that there's some sort of conflict with this, such as unrequited love. Hence, the "friendzone" type thing. Also, the title of the song also reinforces that there's a conflict: Obstacle 1. There's another song in the album called Obstacle 2, which shows this yearning for love once again, in a similar theme: "If you don't trust yourself for at least one minute each day, Well you should trust in this, girl, cause loving is coming our way." "If you can fix me up we'll go a long way If you can fix me up, girl, we'll go a long way." i rest my case. |
