| Glassjaw – Hidden Poem Lyrics | 14 years ago |

I annotated it for a friend: vThis is a new garden over old flowers [new life from dead stuff. I’m growing beyond this.] And old [flowers, dead matter] makes old jokes take on the feel of the lore[things that used to be funny, cool, are part of a legend] And new lips are cradled sense of humor, [it’s so funny you think he’ll save you from what you did] So don't waste wishes on him [he isn’t the one] Wish that one day they'd figure out how to shrink stars and I could keep one in my bedroom [keep you] And wish that me and her could grow old together [not sarcasm] And wish that in my next life I come back as a tiger [like you? as vicious? one you’d be happy with] These are fun wishes [sarcasm, never coming true] In about seven minutes you can start [reference to the length of Vermont Connection] 'Til then, you'll just listen to the radio from seat's edge [listen to these songs about you waiting to understand what im saying to you] As if then it's the look on your face [ha, it’s not a love song] As if, as if then you'll matter [can’t wait you to understand…you’ll see just how little power you have] And then I can't wait [lit.] |

I got the idea that this song is about knowing someone who would be perfect for you but they are in a relationship and how cruel that feeling can be. I feel a "black nurse" is a good term for someone like that, someone who has the ability to heal you but won't See the lines: The last man in was the first to take the vow (the last man she was with married her) Destined to be obscured/Beyond right in your offset eyes (she doesn't seem him) I'm afraid you'll want me to go without/Return what I've given out (afraid his love won't be returned) |
