| Arctic Monkeys – One For The Road Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| I think that the rapey interpretation is plausible, but I think it can also be viewed from another angle that isn't so creepy. I choose to believe it's a song about a guy who's in the friend zone, and he thinks that this might be his chance to finally get intimate with this girl. From the start, he knew that eventually he'd get his chance (I knew this was in the cards) and he knew that she'd be interested (I knew you wouldn't fold). Then, when she pours him that one last drink, the mixture hitting her hard and the disaster that comes isn't her getting drugged, it's just her getting too drunk and passing out, and he missed his chance. He's still in the friend zone. Disaster. When interpreted this way, it's a song about sexual tension and missed chances, but not rapey. | |
