@[maxlookdj:32392] Good explanation about the Harold Pinter play, that’s a likely connection with the song’s title. IMO this song is about someone experiencing a psychotic episode of paranoid schizophrenia. I used to listen to this in my early 20s when I was a volunteer in a psychiatric hospital , the line about have another cigarette repeated is characteristic of psychiatric patients self medicating to calm the symptoms down. “Yeh I mean it honestly,” implies some self doubt in the subject about what he is describing is not fully based in reality . This is a very clever song lyrically and musically, The Furs are probably my favourite band as they give singular perspectives , other worldly (higher perspective.) |
