No Subtle Men Lyrics
No one special, nothing lasting within sight
Everyone can see my youth hanging by a thread
No subtle men begging for my hand
The train is leaving and it's too late to get on
for another broken promise to slip my mind by mistake
I’ve failed so many times, saying I'm gonna change
No subtle men
No subtle men begging for my hand
This song makes me feel very sad, I think its about reviewing your live at a certain age. not regretting, but having peace with how your life has been, though you would have wanted it to be different.
Yes.
This song to me is about waiting your whole life to find that perfect person to spend your life with. You see your friends grow up, get married and have children...but you're left behind.
And now she feels as if time is slipping away for her to have that chance.
"No subtle men...came to my town...begging for my hand."
Because of the phrases: "Begging for my hand" and "Saying I'm gonna change"
Because of the phrases: "Begging for my hand" and "Saying I'm gonna change"
I think that she is accepting guilt for being alone.

Sadly, many many women, most of them actually, despise the nice subtle man to only date the j*rks, until one day they realize that it is too late for them to have a catch with those bad boys, then they feel lonely and desperate... and it is only then that they wish to have dated some subtle man, once the train is gone.

It's supposed to be "I've failed so many times, saying I'm gonna change."
I think "Nothing lasting within sight" is a more proper ending of the first verse.
This song speaks to me as well. More and more the older I get and as I don't seem to alter the behaviours that are setting the field for me.
