I Dont Care If It's The Moon, We Went... Lyrics
If I act like I own the place it’s because I do
You put strikes through your zeros
And you go faster than signs aid you to
You see my left side is my strong side
And it’s pumping the song of a long night
And a chorus for this weekend
This is for you and them
I’ve got 76 inches and 88 keys
To get me where I want to be
It’s not enough
But now please cover these keys
Because I am putting shame to porcelain
I can’t just breathe now
Cause I’m loosing the battle between thick and thin
So many nouns and so many hateful things
You directed to them
These lines are from you in case you forgot
Because I already know you do
I’ve got 76 inches and 88 keys
To get me where I want to be
It’s not enough
This is cruelty in melody
This is the bouclé I never gave
Now this conversation is over
So grab that cell phone and do it quick
You gotta look busy
You gotta look more important than me
I’ve got 76 inches and 88 keys
To get me where I want to be
It’s not enough
You put strikes through your zeros
And you go faster than signs aid you to
You see my left side is my strong side
And it’s pumping the song of a long night
And a chorus for this weekend
This is for you and them
To get me where I want to be
It’s not enough
Because I am putting shame to porcelain
I can’t just breathe now
Cause I’m loosing the battle between thick and thin
So many nouns and so many hateful things
You directed to them
These lines are from you in case you forgot
Because I already know you do
To get me where I want to be
It’s not enough
This is the bouclé I never gave
Now this conversation is over
So grab that cell phone and do it quick
You gotta look busy
You gotta look more important than me
To get me where I want to be
It’s not enough

good song, great band. enough said.
i just noticed that his 'left side' is mentioned in both this song and "Teasing to Please". probably no significance. humm shrug. however, i must say that this is another great one by these guys.
Your left side is referring to the left lobe of your brain that is used for imagination, or in this case, writing songs.

at first i thought this song might be about typing a letter to someone because hes talking about keys. but then i dont think theres 88 keys on a keyboard and i dont know where the 76 inches comes in at so i think i was wrong....

"I’ve got 76 inches and 88 keys To get me where I want to be"
I think what he's trying to do is compare a situation he had to playing the piano.
2 scenarios: If I act like I own the place it’s because I do [At his house] You put strikes through your zeros And you go faster than signs aid you to Strike - needle in the speedometer: driving faster] You see my left side is my strong side And it’s pumping the song of a long night And a chorus for this weekend This is for you and them [left side: The side where ur heart is, and you drive in the left side of a car] [pumping Song of a long night, and a chorus for weekend = A fight at night, and seems like its expected at the weekend too so he decided to just drive off in frustration]
I’ve got 76 inches and 88 keys To get me where I want to be It’s not enough [2nd scenario: This person wants to make a living out of playing the the piano. 88 keys, and i believe 76 inches is just a way to show his motivation, yet his girlfriend doesnt seem itll work out and he's wasting his time playing]
But now please cover these keys Because I am putting shame to porcelain [He cant take it anymore, shes always criticizing him, so he gives up on the piano] I can’t just breathe now Cause I’m loosing the battle between thick and thin [He hates it that, only 'casue of her, he gave up something he could be awesome at, but she never gave him a supporting word] So many nouns and so many hateful things You directed to them [Again, her non-support of him playing piano] These lines are from you in case you forgot Because I already know you do [Guess he wrote a song about this to her, in case she forgets what she did that ruined his dream]
I’ve got 76 inches and 88 keys To get me where I want to be It’s not enough [Read above]
This is cruelty in melody This is the bouclé I never gave [The song he wrote, about the unfairness and how the she doesnt deserve anything from him :bouclé:"] Now this conversation is over So grab that cell phone and do it quick You gotta look busy You gotta look more important than me [They're over, and now she cant see what she did wrong, so shes trying to make herself look more sophisticated then him]
Wow...hope i didnt go on too much here. The excess of too much time and boredum =] I’ve got 76 inches and 88 keys To get me where I want to be It’s not enough
the left side = the side your heart is on
You see my left side is my strong side And it’s pumping the song of a long night And a chorus for this weekend This is for you and them
I agree with everything there except maybe this: left side is where the heart is and the heart is pumping the song meaning this is coming from his mindset after a long night, and a chorus for what's to come (piano is not enough to get him there) this is for the girl and the other people who said so
he is now feeling that the piano isn't enough for him to make it;; no one is supporting him in going towards his dream. && he is starting to believe them.
again with the left side referance.
