My fav line- 'A house on fire or the rising sea?' I think that most people are correct about the majority of the song being about tv culture etc.. but this line also encapulates the whole of Neon Bible and its general feel of anxiety of the future, e.g WWIII, or global warming. |

'You grew your hair so I grew mine' 'You cut your hair, I never saw you again' That second line breaks my heart. |

I think that this is a brilliant song which has given people lots of different interpretations as shown above. My personal opinion is that its about growing up with love The first verse which has a childish imaginative feel 'Then I'll dig a tunnel,From my window to yours' Then it moves onto the teenage view 'We let our hair grow long' A sort of rebellish feel which adds onto 'Then our skin gets thicker,From living out in the snow' which I think could mean the couple facing the grimmer reality of life the harsh 'snow' but they're coping with it because they have each other. Then, finally the adult perspective of love and responsibility 'Then we tried to name our babies' which signifies that they are still with each other and are now parents. So, yeah. Thats my opinion and sorry that I went on for a bit. |
