| Silversun Pickups – The Royal We Lyrics | 2 years ago |

@[Griftor:48603] this honestly makes so much more sense than my interpretation. Maybe it was my lack of experience with that kind of compulsion when I first heard the song in my teens. I can absolutely see how this song could and probably is about addiction. To me this song was about an unhealthy relationship. One where one ore both partners were in a sense addicted to each other. "Let us bruise, their knees, let us aim straight for the feet" conjures up feelings of 'us against the world', even if everyone can see that the couple are destroying each other. It fits with the family disapproval as well, and to me, "the Royal we" is the two making decisions together, illogically, recklessly, even fatally. But again. That could easily be interpreted as a drug dependency, and it probably fits the lyrics better. |
