| Scars On Broadway – Funny Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
I'm pretty sure this song is about suicide. "Funny, how you turned red When I first said Let's join the dead" Turning "red' clearly means bleeding. Him suggesting they die, might be him having suicidal thoughts, but he feels so out of himself that he feels like he's talking to a different person. So he might be referencing dissociation. "Funny, I was driving by Feeling really high It made me cry" He's having trouble coping with life. Even drugs aren't helping him. "Funny, there were swastikas On Santa Monica Where they were scarred" Can't really get the meaning out of this line. "Funny, that no one said that you were dead and painted red" Either he's talking about how no one would care if he died, or he wouldn't care himself if he died. "Where do you go when you fall on your face? It's a place that you never should know Is there a reason why people should change And they changin' the way that they go" This is where the idea of this song being about suicide becomes very prominent. He's talking about where do you go when you've hit rock bottom. He's saying how horrible it is. How it changes you every step of the way. "If I was there with you for long Would you be singing me this song? I'm holding on..." He might be saying that music is the only thing keeping him alive. That it's all he has left. It's the only thing he has to hold on to. Just my interpretation. |
