Pop Song

I don't think this song is about a pop star, or romance.

I believe this song is about a girl who takes her life for granted, wishing for something more thrilling, and in doing so she's become blind to the goodness around her. She's well off (You've got the money) but depressed (And the heartache), probably due to wishing for a more exciting life.

Evidence of her wishing for a better life is pretty clear- She keeps a baseball bat by her head, to ward off any attackers or rapists, even though that's incredibly unlikely (Oh but it's such a joke, a silly dream). She's got "Big plans for your nice house, and some good friends" She's got a lot to live for, but to her it's a bore, because her life could be so much more exciting in her eyes. She could be a pop singer! And she neglects the boy who cares for her, the singer of the song.

Starfucker as a rule tends to have an obsession with death (They have a song titled Death is a Fetish), hence the chorus being about her rotting by the sea. She won't realized what she's missed out on until it's far too late.

I think its about a stalker who has killed a girl he's obsessed with. Normalcy didn't work for him and he sees it as a flaw that the girl he obsesses over has. He wants to set her apart by interrupting her promising life.

She's looking out the curtains trying to hide her face because she's paranoid. He's watching her, so I guess she should be.

Think of a horror movie. "Before I get to you, and I always do" the killer always gets to the victim. Even if he's just leisurely walking.

"You've got your hand up in the window, Like the baseball bat lying next to your bed to protect yourself, oh but its just a joke, a silly dream." He's kidnapped her. Shes in the car trying to flag down help, Possibly save her self. The same way she kept her bat by the bed, to save herself incase of an emergency. She's holding on to the thin possibility of hope that she may survive this. Of course this guy knows better, he's probably done this before, and they never get away. He probably thinks its laughably ironic because he knows she's already as good as dead. "Its such a joke."

after whatever hell he's put her through, she's dead now. He's dumped her body in the sea, Its decomposing and it eventually gets washed ashore a on a beach where kids are playing. I think the song might be about the kids mostly. Living a fun happy life while death is inevitable and possible at any moment despite precautions taken, dreams or happiness. Playing care free, Like a pop song. this girl was clenching on to innocence in blatant ignorance of the the strength of this world's evil.

:D

What does this song mean to you?

This song means a lot to me because you just sung it to my over the phone.

:-)

in addition, it's

"Your skin is slipping off, The seaweed and urchins feed on your bones"

I think the middle of the second verse may be: "Oh but it's such a joke"

All wrong.

It's "oh but it's such a joke"

and "your body is a corpse a rusty bag of nails laying by the sea"

You've got the money and the heartache And the rest just turns to dust before I get to you And I always do I never forget you Little Wondergirl

You've got a hand up in the window Like the baseball bat lying next to your bed To protect yourself Oh but its such a joke A silly dream My, my, my, my, my, my,

[Chorus x2] Your body is a corpse A rusty bag of nails Lying by the sea Your skin is slipping off The seaweed and urchins Feeding on your bones

You've got some big plans for your nice house And some good friends You're got a lot to live for You even have health insurance Oh what a bore You could have so much more

You've got your head looked out the window Through the curtains like I couldn't see you But of course I do I never forget you I'm your only friend My, my, my, my, my, my,

[Chorus]

i hear:

Your body is a world As deep as it gets Laying by the sea

as:

Your body is a board A rusty bag of nails Lying by the sea

It seems to be pretty straight forward just like all the other songs. A pop star that doesn't live like he would with the money.

Your body is a world As deep as it gets Laying by the sea

the second line is definitely "a rusty bag of nails" my sister and i messaged the band and they confirmed it. haha.
