| Interpol – No I in Threesome Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I personally dont believe this song is about a threesome. I felt that the lyrics had no meaning to an actual threesome. For example: ------------------------------------------- 1. ""through the storms and the lie baby you stood by my side and life is wine""" This part is fairly simple throughout the good and the bad you were beside me and life gets better over time ---------------------------------------------------------- 2. ""but there are days in this life when you see the teeth marks of time two lovers divide"" In the path of our time together there are parts that these "teeth" will break us apart and we will break up. -------------------------------------------------------- 3. ""sound meets sound babe her echoes, they surround and all that we need is one thing now what is there to allow"" This one is a bit tricky but here is an observation, I think this verse means that the singer is absolutely in love and obsessed with her. And the things that they need is love, but what is there to allow for them for each other. ---------------------------------------------------------- 4. ""babe it's time we gave something new a try oh alone we may fight so just let us be free"" This i feel is not about a threesome, its about leaving each other and trying something new without each other in their lives. And alone they will fight their pain but they the singer is wishing for them to just be free. ------------------------------------------------------------- 5. ""and baby tonight i see your lips are on fire and life is wine now the windows are open the moon is so bright no one can tell us what love brings for you and i"" I feel this verse is very desperate almost like they still want each other physically, but there not together like they once were. But since the "windows" are open there is no way to know what is going to happen any more as there love is not exclusive anymore. ------------------------------------------------------------- 6. ""you feel the sweet breath of time it's whispering it's truth, not mine there's no "i" in threesome"" ""and i am all for it"" Here we go the meat of the song. The first line means that the sweet breath is there separation that is about to unfold, and its truth is something that the singer does not want to believe. Therefore there is no I in threesome, which I THINK means that the girl was cheating on him, and now he is hurt and the I means that we cannot be together because there is no more I or me. and he is all for breaking up ------------------------------------------------------------ 7. ""babe it's time we give something new a try oh alone we may fight and feathers bend like trees in the moonlight"" Again like earlier they will fight the pain alone but the part that got me here was the "feathers bend like trees in the moonlight", which if you think back to Led Zeppelin's "All of my love" there is a line that goes "should I chase a feather in the wind" meaning should he leave his former lover for a new one. And the tie to this song is that this "feather" bends for the girl cheating on him at night like a secret, doing whatever she wants. ------------------------------------------------------------- Well that is my observation in short He was with a girl, she cheated on him and now hes out of it. So the "threesome" they had, he will not deal with so he is out. Tell me what ya think or if I lost my mind lol peace out! |
