| Ben Folds Five – Brick Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I haven't read all the comments so I don't know if anybody else brought up this point. If so, forgive me for being repetitive. I can't help but think that the singer wanted to keep the child but the girlfriend didn't. This would explain the "I'm alone/ she's alone" as both are alone with their own thoughts and opinions of the abortion. I see the "it's not me you're dying for" as him speaking out of guilt to the unborn fetus as please don't blame him, this wasn't his idea. He wants to be supportive in her decision but it's dragging him down and eventually it pulls them apart. | |

I can't help but think of a bloke who gets into a fight at his local pub. He gets his arse beat, but still comes back for more. *grin* I can't say that this is what the song is about, but it sure does bring up that image. And with the musical interludes such as Danny Boy...well, how many people do you know only sing when they are totally drunk? I can think of a few. *giggle* You have to love the imagery this song leaves. That and the fact that it is now going to be stuck in my head for the rest the day. (LOL!) |

I had to add my two cents. I think that perhaps it's about a woman seducing the speaker. I haven't seen the video, but this song just seems to sexy to be about much of anything else. So think about it. He's by himself, he looks up there's this very attractive woman trying to seduce him, he gives in, he's exstatic, but doesn't know her, (who's that lounging in my chair, casting devious stares) and frankly can't believe that she's going to have sex with him. (Mama, surely this is a dream, must be my dream) Pretty simple, eh? No need to overanylize this one. |
