| Morcheeba – Trigger Hippie Lyrics
| 18 years ago
|
here's my take:
a hippie is stereotyped as a peace-loving treehugger right? she says lines like, "pull the trigger, i'm a hippie," and "standing in line of fire, for the whole," meaning she'll die for love in all its forms. |

i love the "goddess" part..sends shivers up my spine..i think they use white, red and black bc they represent everything encompassing human existence..all things good (white), all things dark (black) and of course love, the one emotion that straddles both black and white. |

he's talking about how he's tired of jetsetting around--references to traveling with the vessel and flying the metal (airplane?) and getting "paid" bc "these are just ways to be seen". he wants to reach "abandon" and lose himself with this girl so that when he/they look back on "history" she'll see that he treated her right--that's the only way he'd ever treat her..so yeah, he's basically saying fuck it all and "swoon baby starry nights, may our bodies remain"--maybe i'm looking too deep into it but bodies could represent celestial bodies; may they remain burning brightly in the starry sky, not having to travel around and prove themselves bc everyone can see them from earth. |

yes--totally underrated. i never liked this song before, but one day it just hit me like a sack of potatoes..unlike their other songs, the lyrics are easy to understand cause the real message is in the music itself. |

she's saying that if we're all made in god's image, then we deserve the same respect, so call me by my name, nothing else...most intellects are convinced that god doesn't exist, but the fear of a higher being or some other unknown force like fate scares us all.. |

this is my favorite song off the new album..it's nice to listen to just to "take some time"...i think that's basically what it's about--taking the time to chill out, be with the one you love and let them know you love them, and appreciate your surroundings for once. |

yeah i agree this song is often overlooked, but i don't know why..it is just perfect for chilling with a cup of coffee in the park and people-watching OR lounging on a beach and nodding your head to the beat of the rhythm of the waves as the sun sets..it's basically about life, how it repeats itself and just goes on, from the pov of an old man who has seen everything and knows everything and time just seems to move much more slowly for him now. |

i love this song bc it is so simple...first it starts off sounding a bit mellow and the lyrics of the first stanza are a bit of a downer, but it slowly builds up into a crescendo of happy instrumentalness which makes you look forward to the future, bc "if today is all we see, then tomorrow seems to me is just an illusion we believe"..i think it's about how people go about their daily lives, not really knowing why or how they got there and what their purpose is, but we all "strive to see, hope to be some small part of eternity." |

this song has some of the best interpol lyrics in my opinion...my favorite line is, "bc friends don't waste wine when there's words to sell"..to me it's a play on words, like wine=whine...friends don't waste their time whining when there's something important to say..or friends don't waste wine by drinking it all and completely confessing their dirtiest secrets to the one they love, just bc it's easier that way. |

new york cares is a clothing drive during the winter i believe (the ad is a shivering stature of liberty, so sad)...yeah this song is really pretty and amazing to listen to on the subway..i feel like i'm wearing one of "seven faces" when i walk the streets in a daze..new york is gritty, dirty, lonely, and unforgiving and yet there's an undeniable beauty and warmth emanating from even the raunchiest parts of the city..the part that goes, "it's up to me now, turn on the bright lights," holds a lot of meaning bc ppl from all walks of life come here for whatever purpose and they immediately expect the bright lights to cast a glow upon their faces as they walk through places like times square..but it takes its toll on ppl, as they become hardened and accustomed to the usual blase attitude..in a place like manhattan, you really have to make yourself or "turn on the bright lights" through your own hard work and it can get to be too much at times. |
