haha wow, I have a *totally* different take on this song than ya'll. ;-) I think it's about being gay and living on a college campus. Let me explain my reasoning... No one has pointed this out yet, but a keffiyeh is something traditionally worn by males.. not females. :) I believe Batmanglij wrote the lyrics to this song, and he has since come out as being gay (http://out.com/detail.asp?id=26494). To me this song tells a story of falling in love with a male (possibly professor) who turns out to not be gay, and hence is not interested in a relationship. The line, "You look inside and turn to the door," to me means that when the person realizes Batmanglij is gay, he walks away (i.e., not interested). Thoughts? I could be wrong here.. have been wrong many times. ;-) |
