i spent a great deal of time thinking about this song. Sam compares the narrator of the song to the different seasons summer, autumn, spring and winter = the narrator also, the Bougainvillea flower is a metaphor for the woman's heart. according to me, this is what the song is saying There are times that walk from you Like some passing afternoon there are instances in your life where things escape you - he then proceeds to retell his personal experience with that Summer warmed the open window of her honeymoon And she chose a yard to burn But the ground remembers her Wooden spoons, her children stir her Bougainvillea blooms -he meets a married woman and has an affair with her she chooses to end it but he still remembers her their love (children) moves (stirs) her heart There are things that drift away Like our endless numbered days -he restates that there are things that drift away (this love in particular) Autumn blew the quilt right off the perfect bed she made And she's chosen to believe In the hymns her mother sings Sunday pulls its children from their piles of fallen leaves -he complicates her life/marriage (messes up her bed) and she chooses to believe in the morals/beliefs of her mother (ie: trying to salvage the marriage) so she tries to pull out the love that was once in her marriage There are sailing ships that pass All our bodies in the grass Springtime calls her children until she lets them go at last And she's chosen where to be Though she's lost her wedding ring Somewhere near her misplaced jar of Bougainvillea seeds he (springtime) holds onto their love (children) until she lets it go and she chooses where she wants to be (with her husband) even though she lost her wedding ring (her love for her husband) somewhere near her misplaced heart (which is currently dead/dormant) There are things we can't recall Blind as night that finds us all Winter tucks her children in, her fragile china dolls But my hands remember hers Rolling around the shaded ferns Naked arms, her secrets still like songs I'd never learned There are names across the sea Only now I do believe Sometimes, with the window closed, she'll sit and think of me But she'll mend his tattered clothes And they'll kiss as if they know A baby sleeps in all our bones, so scared to be alone he tucks the love to sleep but his hands remember hers he doesn't understand why she chose to go back to her husband but out of everyone she knows even though she's now faithful to her husband (the window has been closed) he still hopes that she thinks of him but instead she tries to mend the marriage with her husband and she'll kiss him but they'll both know they're together only because they're afraid of being alone. well that's my interpretation.. this song is simply beautiful. |

| Paolo Nutini – Candy Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
the man desperately wants to make love with this woman and he's willing to do anything - bathe her skin, wash her clothes, kiss her eyes, ect. his feelings for her are sincere but naturally he wants more - he wants sex. candy=sex. "Oh, and I'm often found explaining But to her it plays out all the same and although I'm left defeated It gets held against my name I know you got plenty to offer baby But I guess I've taken quite enough well I'm some stain there on your bed sheet You're my diamond in the rough" - these lines sum up the situation. he's trying to explain to her that his feelings for her are true, but to her, it doesn't matter, he's like every other man and she wont give up her virginity because she's afraid that's all he's after. she says no, and tries to tell him "i've got more to offer than just sex". so he says to her, I'll be here waiting for you - you're worth it. the last lines are all the possible reasons that the woman is waiting.. the things that are keeping him from having sex with her. cut throats/jagged ends = surrounding world,relatives, judgemental people, ect cheap and sugary philosophies= old fashioned values/morals that people live by such as the saying "waiting till marriage" angels and their halos = one's religion |

| Passion Pit – Sleepyhead Lyrics | 16 years ago |

wow, i had never thought about it in the way of an emotional breakdown like DecemberSun said, but now it makes complete and total sense. And everything is going to the beat And everything is going to the beat And everything is going - I love that this song is so happy. It gives you almost a euphoric feeling while listening to it. when he says 'everything is going to the beat' i think of it as " let the beat of the music erase all of your worries" Almost as if, you'd be listening to this song while you're going to sleep and it's TELLING you, "let it go and enjoy the music". It's also beautiful the way that at the end the lyrics become almost unrecognizable, almost what it would probably sound like if you were actually drifting off into sleep. anyways sorry about the rant on that little bit, it's my favorite part of the song! And you said It was like fire around the brim Burning solid, Burning thin, the burning rim. Like stars burning holes right through the dark Flicking fire, like saltwater, into my eyes You were one inch from the edge of this bed I drag you back a sleepyhead, sleepyhead -I see this part of the song as a specific scene. A couple lying in bed, the lights are turned off, and the man hears his significant other crying. he asks her what's wrong and she describes to him what it feels like. The fire is a metaphor for the burning sensation she feels as tears form in her eyes. It's the slightly painful burning around the brim/rim of her eyelids. when he says "like stars burning holes right through the dark" he's talking about her tears spilling out from her closed eyes. saltwater is a reference to tears because that's what comes out from your eyes. He then describes how when she was finished crying/half asleep and at the farthest end of the bed, he pulls her sleepy body closer to his. So comforting and romantic. They couldn't think of something to say the day you burst With all their lions and all their might and all their thirst They crowd your bedroom like some thoughts wearing thin Against the walls against your rules against your skin My beard grew down to the floor and out through the doors Of your eyes, begonia skies like a sleepyhead Your head - I see this part of the song as him describing how others reacted the day she broke down. no one was able to say the right thing to comfort her. when he says "with all their lion with all their might with all their thirst" i feel as though he hold some resentment towards these people. he says that they are lions, strong, and have a reason( thirst=desire) to say something reassuring to comfort her. He speaks as though these people hold some sort of responsibility to her (possibly her family?) and should have SOMETHING to say to her, yet they're silent. He then says that these people crowd her thoughts and everything around her (home, mind, skin) yet they're silent. He becomes the only one that can comfort her -so he lies with her in bed and passes the time with her ( "his beard grows, to the floor, and out the door"). Then they, together, drift away into their dreams. That's my personal interpretation of the song. Hope that made sense.. Truly beautiful. As for what the girl is crying about, i feel like it might be the death of someone close to her/possibly a family member, and the the people that are "crowding" her may be her family and friends that are worried for her but can't seem to find any words to say to comfort her. that last bit might be a long shot. who knows? hope that helped! |
