Hung Up Lyrics

Hidden in the back seat of my head
Some place I can't remember where
I found it just by coincidence
And now I'm all hung up again

Just like a soldier from the past
Who won't be told it's over yet
Refusing to lay down his guns
He'll keep on fighting until his war is won
He's gotta hurt someone
He'll keep on fighting until his war is won

Waiting for the moment
Keep on looking for a sign
Extraordinary
Trying to cease the war inside

Hidden in the back seat of my head
Some place I can't remember where
I found it just by coincidence
And now I'm all hung up again
And now I'm all hung up again

About the things in our minds that contunue to bother us, wheter it's from our past or just something that just gets us down/angry?

Hung Up is about Weller reviving his career and getting the buzz back after the Style Council days.

He's all Hung Up again on making music

I think this is about Paul Weller losing his mind. He refuses to give up on the idea he has of his identity from the past (that he lost "just by coincidence") and goes hunting it down, as he closes himself off from everyone and everything around him.

He's got to hurt someone - probably the fact that his wife couldn't understand the complete transformation in his personality. He mentions this in other songs, like - You do something to me and All the pictures on the wall (we don't talk that much at all the further out I seem to stray) - to name two.

I found it just by coincidence refers to the fact that there is no reason for him to be down. He just can't find it - but he'll never lie to himself, he knows he feels like shit - so he'll keep on hunting, looking for the signs (of who he actually his, his internal happiness), that will cease his war inside.
