With Aplomb Lyrics
Fondness can escalate beyond my repair, chance is the fiction will orchestrate despair
Again, these hands blow dry but I can handle it again, these words collide but I can handle
Happiness is coated in a mindless kicking, let's fall apart, get up high and leave
Again, these hands blow dry but I can handle it again, these words collide but I can handle
Kill your bizarre mindset, fuckhead, soldered to a three-layered concrete brainwave castration
Walking backwards home with you
great song, sounds very classical, makes me think of a midevil banquet. lyrics dont make a lick of sense tho :-S
this song is a fuckin drug trip man.
simon wrote this when he was high man. thats why its all like poetry, and doesn't particularly make sense.
there are parts when i think he remnisces about previous times he's been high and bad things have come of it:
"fondness can escalate beyond my repair"
potential relationship turned into a one night stand?
"happiness is coated in a mindless kicking..."
perhaps he was mugged while high- i know i've been kicked on the floor when i was high... fuckers broke my wrist....
"Kill your bizarre mindset, fuckhead, soldered to a three-layered concrete brainwave castration"
elaborate subtext- i honestly think if you read into this song it's about him smoking pot and the conflict he has with his girlfriend.
oh and for those who don't know what "APLOMB" means-
to put it simply- coolness; self-confidence.
As far as I have understood the song is about a relationship that comes back to life. These are the parts I understand fully;
"Kill your bizarre mindset, fuckhead, soldered to a three-layered concrete brainwave castration" MEANING; Stop being so bizarre, kill off your way of thinking like a brainwave castration or against a three layered concrete wall.
Walking backwards home with you MEANING; Starting all over again.
