| Paolo Nutini – New Shoes Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I agree with the first poster, the meaning of this song is totally obvious. But if you didn't know, it deals with Paulo's terrifying addiction to heroin. Lines like 'short on money', 'wandering through these streets', and 'I'm seeing stars' describe his desperation due to the affects of heroin withdrawals. Two days of his life go missing while struggling with his detoxification which causes hallucinations of mysterious dancers in his kitchen. Then when he finally gets his drug fix, like a new pair of shoes, 'suddenly everything's right'. In an instant he goes from drug sickness to 'sweet sunshine'. The heroin is his 'brand new shoes'. Sorry to explain something so obvious but I totally agreed with the first poster and wanted to let her know how insightful she was. |
