Chinatown

I can't believe I'm the first to post for such a good song..um, I'm pretty sure it's about being lost, but not literally..I don't know, It's hard to say...Great song, though.

This song seems like the carefree days of youth. Also the recklessness of gambling...

"we have placed our final bets we have come out to play"

and

"you'll get yours and i'll get mine you can't be lucky all the time"

which can combine to be very dangerous, yet fun as you go chasing girlies. a interesting lyrical paradox... if paradox is the right word for this song...

I think it's about someone that keeps going out on the town because it's his favorite thing to do. He keeps going out even though he knows it's causing him to slack at work and that he'll get in trouble if he gets caught. It seems that he finally comes to the realization that it's time to fess up and face the music.

Yeah, I'll go along with Palladian -- to me it's just basically about being in your early twenties and enjoying life and not thinking about any consequences. Everyone deserves to feel this way for a little while in their life. I know I did. Then everything just got so damn complicated....

"Chinatown" is about living a party lifestyle, and how it eventually catches up to you. It was inspired by the guy who was Luna's A&R rep at Elektra Records (his name escapes me now, but I think it was Terry).
