One of my favourite's by Wolf Alice. Simple and heartbreaking, the simple act of doing something to impress someone you care for being ignored or going unnoticed due to the business of that person's life resulting in an idea of a romance blossoming becomes disillusioned, like the dissipating smoke from his cigarette. even the symbolic idea of the mental effects of smoking being a short term buzz can be related to the speaker and her unbridled optimism of buying a drink for someone to those shattered dreams of finding him not there for her, and that harsh acceptance of an empty chair next to her or a full wine glass - it ends on her assumption something will happen eventually but both the listener and speaker know that's hopeful and unlikely at best |

@[elem45:15155] Yeah I think the same, even the way she delivers Who's fault is that, if it wasn't mom and dad (Well it must be yours) in a whisper suggests that voice that constantly assumes the worst and places the blame on the innocent who is self-loathing due to mental illness. It is even quite angsty and existential near the end, looking for a form of salvation and protection from herself whatever it may be, to stop the monotony (as you explained) and pain she currently is experiencing. One of their most poignant songs. |
