| Margot & the Nuclear So and So's – Talking In Code Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
[And I'm sleeping alone, In a house I don't own, 'Cause if you're touring your mind, You'll get lost every time.] This verse makes me think he's still sleeping in 'their' house, but she technically owns it. Now that he's confronted her about her affair, she's basically like, "Deal with it," and so he just continues to live there. By 'touring your mind' (that whole last part) he's telling her "You can keep thinking and trying to figure out where we went wrong, but you'll never figure it out." He thinks this because he still loves her or at least cares and can't understand how she all of a sudden needed someone else. [And you'll sing me sad songs to keep me awake, in that bedroom we hid away. Baby I'm long gone, Yeah I'm long gone...] 'Sad songs' is more a metaphor than anything. This girl, by cheating on him, has given him something to write songs about. So, now, instead of being awake and spending time with her in their room like they so oft did, he just stays up and writes songs about it. The thought of her being off at this other man's house while he's alone in her house haunts him and he can't sleep. He just thinks about what went wrong and where and can't figure it out so he just writes songs about it. The songs are all he has. He literally doesn't have a home anymore. He doesn't have the house and it's sure as hell isn't home... Just my opinion. It makes the most sense to me. |

Yet a freaking nother comment, sorry. it's : "Well nice to know that you cared, to leave me soaking wet. I'm so surprised you would dare you make me want to forget." |

| Another comment D: but uhm, shouldn't it be, "I could forget how you had tried to get the best of me"? The name of the song, after all, is The Best Of Me. Not that that says much. With Me Tonight's chorus was 'with me today' but it sounds more like 'of' than 'in' in this song. | |

Sorry if this bugs everyone (I know people who think a lot of their songs are about relationships bother me) but I think it could be interpreted as he's never able to hold on to a relationship. In my eyes Closed and jaded It's no surprise The lights have faded (The lights have faded, as in, the sparks are gone and it's starting to look kind of dim.) I always walk away (He's always the one to walk away in the relationship because he knows it won't work out.) You'll always hear me say I don't need this (When they're threatening to leave each other, he doesn't have to stand and here her insult him, it's not going to work out anyway, so why fight about it?) I've been given such a gift Shame to take advantage of it (the gift being either 1. the fact none of his relationships work out, and taking advantage of that (getting women just to sleep with them, without the commitment) would be wrong OR 2. the gift is his girlfriend and he knows it's going to end one day and knows it would be wrong to try and fall in love with her and end up breaking both of their hearts) What did wasting lead to wanting more (Wasting a relationship makes him want another, maybe another chance to make it last.) Be careful what you're wishing for (If he wishes for a lasting relationship, he might find out that it's probably better that he just stay in relationships that won't work) Nothing that I can't Hold onto my broken hands (Can't hold on to a relationship.) I'm not thinking that I should anyway (Obviously if he can't, that may be a sing that he just wasn't meant to and that it's for the better.) So I Don't care what you say (He doesn't care what she says [kinda vague] because one day she'll be gone and won't matter.) Cause it makes no difference if I throw it away Yeah it makes no difference if I throw it away (It doesn't matter if he decides to walk away now, just because he knows it won't work, instead of waiting and letting the relationship naturally dissipate, because he'll leave one day anyway.) Now my days Are feeling numbered (He can tell the end of the relationship is coming near.) The sad cliche I'm hiding (Hoping that maybe he'll find 'the one' [which is cliche] and sad because he knows there a slim to none chance.) under this spiderweb of dreams I'm stuck here as it seems to be breaking (His dreams of finding 'the one' are being ruined and he can't do anything, because it will end with or without his help.) Shining brighter than you were Something that I would never learn I could never lay this curse on you Cursing the days when there's (He would never learn to stop trying to fall in love, and he feels bad for putting part of the curse on the girls who fall in love with him, only to be left in the end.) Nothing that I can't Hold onto with my broken hands I'm not thinking that I should anyway So I Don't care what you say Cause it makes no difference if I throw it away Cause it makes no difference if I throw it away Yeah it makes no difference if I throw it away Yup. That's most definitely not what it's about, but I think music is taking into your own interpretation and applying it to your own life/situation, so it's just one way to do that. |

Yeah, I'm with andiemom, I'm pretty sure it sounds like 'hype for always' instead of 'height for always', but that's just me (: Also when I heard it, right before the chorus, it sounded a bit like the beginning of Sound Effects and Overdramatics. |

Corrections in one of the verses * Listen carefully and you may hear, like I do, this: Would guess you wereN'T the chosen one. The right place, you wereN'T the firstborn son. Once questioned stable state of mind To spend some time in the gutter. All I did is change the 'were's to 'weren't' |

Didn't read all the comments, but 'cut a line to make me feel alive', talking about cocaine? I get irritated at people who think all their songs are about drugs JUST because he used to do them, or people who think every song about death or OD is about Kate. But anyway. Cocaine reference perhaps maybe? You know cause you can't take pure coke, you have to 'cut' it with something, like baby laxatives, baking powder, etc, so you can do a line... or they call it 'stepping on it' because the person who the coke originates from cuts it (which basically dilutes the coke and makes it less concentrated), then they sell it to someone and they cut it. It goes through X amount of middle men and each cut it. |

Anyone know what he's singing in the last twenty-two seconds? I've noticed that they add stuff like that onto a few songs. Just like they did on Dark Days, and there's another from Artwork I believe. But it's always just so that you can't quite tell what he's saying. |

| * just an added note, I wasn't attached in the narcissistic sense. Anthropomorphic fallacy is basically where a kid becomes best friends/ attached to a teddy bear, invisible friend, blanket, etc, and claims it is real or that it says stuff, etc. I still do this, I have a hoodie, shoes, electronics and such I'm attached to. | |

I always thought it was about someone with a split personality/multiple personalities and is maybe also about drugs. Or about how something/someone makes him a different person. Look at me, can you tell, by the way I move into my head? The way he goes into his other persona : via drugs, or maybe saying that there is no visible signs of when he's changing, it just happens. He's just confused about who he really is because there's a constant battle going on in his mind. He doesn't know which one is the real him. And this explains all the different lyrics, to me anyway. Do you think that it's me, or...? It's not me. (That's how I view those lyrics, instead of one sentence.) I don't even care, I'm alive: He doesn't care which is him, because, although there are two people within him, they're both still him, and all that matters is that he's still living. Unless it means that he doesn't care which is the real, because, despite using drugs, he's alive and that's all that matters. Personal experiences have shaped my opinions on the interpretation of this song. For the longest time, I could attach myself to anyone, and I could only listen to music and get that feeling, you know, the most amazing feeling on earth. "...a power as great as love." Anyway, and before I met my...(cliche, I know) soulmate, I always would just keep to myself, in my head. It was just me and it felt like there was two of me. Anthropomorphic fallacy/ pathetic fallacy is where you attach a personality and emotions to an inanimate object. I did it to myself. I became attached to myself, because I had no one else, and I gave my own self two sets of emotions, and two personalities. It was the weirdest thing ever to not know how many people lived in your head. |
