Great! My thoughts about this song are quite similar to yours. I think that this song is about losing love. "Poisoned in their graves" might be Romeo and Guliet, and this lines could mean that subjects of the song came to the point where their relationship is nothing but betrayal of Love. The narrator at some point reproaching his lover in the chorus. And "Hollywood" could be interpretated as a fame. She decided to break their relationship because he stood on her way to fame. But her pursuits were in vain, and now they can't be close to each other anymore, love is broken. Narrator is trying to find a way to leave all this behind and dreaming of death. "Let's bury ourselves" - he's offering to bury their relations and to go find someone to spend this night with and try to forget about their pain at least for a moment. I didn't wanted to write so much!) |

Sorry about bad English, I'm from Russia:) I think this beautiful song is about birth of a child. It seems that in the first part of the song unborn child talks about his feelings from the womb of his mother (he's saying WE mostly). It's winter time and he's suffering from cold too, although "the weather remote". "We've been drinking bordeaux" - pretty good from this perspective... It's Christmas time coming and the child decides that it'd be a good time to present himself as a Christmas gift to his parents ("I'm wrapping up the presents I bought"). "an overcoat will take me anywhere oh, we've suffered enough" This lines shows how child and mother tired of being Ñconnected, the child dreams of himself having an overcoat and being able to go wherever he want to. But: "it's scary to leave and they're leaving from birth cutting us off knowing not why calling on the telephone" He doesn't understand why parents and chilren cutting off and leave each other at a given time of their lifes and eventually the only connection left between them is a Saturday evening telephone calls. Why can't they forever be as close together and strongly connected, as they were in the beginning. Very deep and a little depressive song. |
