Local Natives – Heavy Feet Lyrics 11 years ago
When trying to decipher the meaning behind heavy feet by local natives, I would come to realize that my intuitive guess would be closest to any other interpretation.
The beginning opens with a description of this person that would come to play an integral role in the life of the speaker, but this period was only temporary. It seems the speaker was getting caught up in the moment, feeling inspired by the fireworks, the physical appearance of what I’d guess to be a girl. The words that she spoke felt so special that he wrote them down. Whenever he recites the ideas to another person, he realizes that the words she spoke were not groundbreaking, it was that he wanted/expected them to be: His attraction enhanced her personality. This likely led to a relationship, but as recited in the chorus, he was left in the sun shivering. The warmth that brought him to her was deceiving: there wasn’t a connection there, there was a love wasted.
In the next verse it seems that this issue is coming to a front: Awkward conversation, mutual recognition of the disparity between the two.
A seemingly sarcastic next verse ensues, as the speaker notes that the girl should be careful in what she says because a single drop shouldn’t be wasted. Her articulate nature that he initially enjoyed is a facade created by non-sobriety and the freedom it gives her, and with her sobriety comes the lack of confidence to communicate effectively.
In the end I feel that there was a confounding dissonance between the image he initially had of this person, and what she turned out to be. The feeling of attachment is unfortunately there, and he is left in her sun, shivering, really to blame for his blindness.
