Nine Lives

I'm suprised no one has commented on this song. It's so awesome, it's great to dance to and has meaningful lyrics that i can relate to. "This world don't mean a thing to me, without those songs you sing to me" gets me everytime.

This song is cryptic. If I apply the theme from the rest of the album--The end of the world--this doesn't clarify the meaning of this song for me.

It could be that the speaker in this is actually a machine, a spaceship, that is headed on a crash course for the sun because it has ceased to communicate with earth.

"I've carved my crash course straight through to hell I've broken bones, I've had my spells It fuels my cyclone heart so"

And

"This world don't mean a thing to me Without those songs you sing to me Those feline eyes are all I see It fuels my cyclone heart so"

It seems like the spaceship is without meaning without code from earth. What trips me up is the mention of "feline eyes." Could it be some sort of eclipse?

This song is about love, plain and simple.

I don't think this album is about the end of the world. The lyrics seem so much... deeper.
