Am I Wry? No Lyrics
exactly how I should have done
Farah, drives with her eyes closed
do you ever inflict unwanted memories
I know you and I know it won’t take you long
to make me smile
Farah, angelic girl I’ll have
you know it’s you and me potentially
Farah, don’t pull the carpet from under me
indifference is killing me
Am I wry? Oh my! Fallacy!
fallacy in my words am I wry
I know you and I know you’re not afraid
to say the least
diamond ring diamond ring
but you can’t find it
cold is the night
Song's about the more self-conscious one of a couple. The one who worries so much they answer their own anxious question. "Am I Wry? No!" Wry meaning weird/awkward.
Wow this takes me back to the beginning. This is the very first song I heard from Mew. My older brother had mentioned them saying that they were the best band ever and I was like yeah...okay (I was still pretty into Death Cab For Cutie at that time). Years later I was on purevolume at 3:00 in the morning listening to Am I Wry? No. I thought I was dreaming because I've never heard of anything like it. It's like, where have you been all this time and more importantly, where was I? I bought their older albums and I've been a fan ever since.:)
I see a deluded addiction to a reckless, uncaring girl. "Am I wry? No" says to me, "Can you really get involved with someone like this? Are you like her?" and the answer is no, the two people are too different.
Amazing song, and I think it describes, like MortalWombat said, a failed relationship. One of those relationships that means everything to you, but the other person starts to seem uninterested, "indifference is killing me". Then the title of the song comes into play when the narrator begins to feel as if they've done something wrong to make the other person lose interest, pinning the blame on himself, wondering "Am I Wry?". I think the "No" is a way of stating that it isn't really the narrator's fault. Does seem similar to 156, as said above.
Just my interpretation of an amazing song that I can't get enough of. I'd really love to see Mew live someday.
Its just sooooooooo Nice
I think this song is fantastic. The introduction is especially brilliant.
i love the song overall in the world
This song is great, but one lyric i think might be wrong.

The lyrics are definitely "cold is the night"

i <3 this song!! it's soo beautiful
I love this song too, but it just surprises me that this one became so popular. This is actually one of my lesser favorites of theirs.
I agree and Im glad someone else feels the same way because i have wondered that same thought many times after i relized how awesome mew is

I think this band's secret to success is their live show. I saw them supporting Martin Grech and they completely blew me away. That was months before their album came out but I still could remember some of the songs so clearly. I've seen them three times and they've always opened with this.
What an amazing band.
