| A Perfect Circle – The Contrarian Lyrics | 5 years ago |
|
"Good luck, you're on your own!" Hahaha! I love the album as a whole, and do think that it's politically charged, more as a commentary on our current national climate socially, economically, politically, etc. but also dressed up with theatrical atmosphere to make it sound, for lack of a better adjective, sort of Smashing Pumpkinsy?... And I'd hate to say that anything coming out these days would have anything to do with DJT or his administration, but it really does sound like this song is about him... he is a contrarian, after all, and the descriptions given in the lyrics just seem to lend to that idea. But uh... those lyrics up there, are we sure they're all correct? I'm hearing it like this: Hello, he lied Like velvet, this magician's sleight of tongue and hand Hello, he lied Beware, belie his smile As warm and calculated as heroin Beware the contrarian Within everyone A scale, a voice Everyone but him Core is black as pitch Soul is out of tune Advocate of none Beware, belie his smile Will cost you everything Cloak and masquerade, his contemporary one Hello, hello, he lied Hello, he lied Like velvet, this magician's sleight of tongue and hand Hello, he lied Beware, belie his smile As warm and calculated as heroin Beware the contrarian |

| I agree, it isn't about suicide. There's only 2 lines in the whole song that might even be interpreted that way. To me, I think you're not far off from what it's actually about. Paul is singing about a girl he knows, or maybe he's even involved with. Maybe she's involved with others as well, or perhaps she doesn't have the best judgement concerning her social interactions- in any case, he just wants her to know that she's his "it girl." It's almost like telling someone you love them, and not requiring them to tell you the same back. That's what I think, anyway. I don't know if my interpretation sounds the same to you, but to me, yours is pretty simillar to what I have in mind. I listen to this song every day (its on my CD player alarm clock so it's the first thing i hear every morning) and i love it! :) | |
