| @[mostly90s:22226] The "everyone is gay" also ties in nicely with Kurt's youth experiences (see "God Is Gay" and witnessed homophobia). So, it all came full circle in a sense, from youth to death. Everyone is fake happy, but not as different as they think they are. I think you can sense his isolation in the tone. | |

Hey, I don't think that poster was being derogatory towards homosexuality. At least, there's no real evidence of that in that post. I also think they're right, that the lyric wasn't meant to represent that "everyone has homoerotic tendencies" (which I disagree with, notwithstanding). I think it has more to do with everyone being... what? Identical, happy (in appearance at least), different from Kurt. That would fit with "all in all/all alone." Some other interpretations: The sun part (married, buried) to me does invoke death, but also the personification of it. It's a popular enough trope, and it always reminds me of something about marrying death. Can't quite remember but Emily Dickinson comes to mind. If that were to be true, then the "married, buried" part is obvious. By marrying death, you die. The other one is the "sunburn with freezerburn." He mentions shame above, which could be the shame associated with suicide. Sunburn harkens back to the sun mentioned prior, which relates to death. As for freezerburn, what do you do with a dead body? It goes in the freezer. So maybe that's something. Then, all in all and all alone we are. In life, in death. That's about it, but mostly I disagree heavily with the homoerotic assumption. |
