There's a fight, theres a path when you come out from
your corner you'll like the thought when you win how could i know it would come
down to this? it's just some plans that you couldnt fix
I could feel light
glow and rise and make some warmth for the ghosts to find
and i would break
like you wouldnt
believe, just like you didnt know me
all the focus swings
when the conversation ends be the mad hero, one you'll never see again
He
said how long's it been
she said "very, if it were up to me I'd never see you
again"
He took her hands into his reluctantly
he said something profound,
time waits for no one
there's a crime, theres a choice that you make when
you are cornered
you'll like the song that you sing
did you know it would end
up like this
its just a hole could've missed
I can make right all seem
wrong
I can spin it how I want
all the focus swings when the conversations
end
be a mad hero, one you'll never need again
He said how long's it
been
she said "very, if it were up to me I'd never see you again"
He took her
hands into his reluctantly
he said something profound, time waits for no
one
calling out to the light
calling out never felt right
i never want to
waste my time
time waits for no one
when the conversation ends...you belong
to me
your corner you'll like the thought when you win how could i know it would come
down to this? it's just some plans that you couldnt fix
I could feel light
glow and rise and make some warmth for the ghosts to find
and i would break
like you wouldnt
believe, just like you didnt know me
all the focus swings
when the conversation ends be the mad hero, one you'll never see again

Love in a Vacuum
'Til Tuesday
'Til Tuesday
Well, in my opinion this song is about being a young & maybe a little naive &/or introverted girl and finding yourself loving a man who is at first very charming, carefree & outgoing, and seems at first to be without limits, as in
"There was a time
you opened up every doorway
you didn't mind if everything
wasn't your way"
then that man starts to gradually become more introverted & shows their more possessive/obsessive side to you as the relationship progresses, even while they keep up the appearance of being carefree & outgoing to everyone else,
"Don't pull away
that goes against what you told me
I look in your eyes
I realize what you've sold me
is love in a vacuum"
so you confront them about the way they're acting and of course they deny it,
"I think you've changed
but you insist that
that's not true"
quite possibly they are an addict of some sort, my guess would be cocaine, &/or showing very obsessive behavior towards you (early on in the video for this song we see the man hanging a picture up, it is a very large portrait of Aimee & it is prominently displayed in his/their apartment for the duration of the song), thus their "love in a vacuum",
"You look so strange, so distant
that you're hardly you
Now I can see
how you have been acting different
You say it's me
but I know
that it isn't
it's love in a vacuum"
but still you are in love with them and don't want to leave them and you know that they are truly in love with you and they don't want you to leave them either, maybe they are convinced you can save them from themself, maybe they are so broken that the possibility of an overdose &/or suicide attempt is very real and you want to get through to them that their behavior not only dangerous but it is also just pissing you off and if they don't wise up they run the risk of loosing you, as in the lines
"You will be lonely
if you leave me alone", so you want to save them but can't get through to them due to the addiction &/or emotional problems they have,
"Love in a vacuum
and that's not enough
love in a vacuum
You will be lonely
you'll be the only one who feels this way
You will be lonely
if you leave me alone
You will be lonely
you'll be the only one who feels this way
it's just not enough"
you want them to understand that the love they are giving you is not enough when it is filtered through the vacuum of their drug addiction &/or emotional impairment,
"You will be lonely
you'll be the only one who feels this way
it's just not enough
and just wait
you will be lonely
Love in a vacuum
Love in a vacuum
and that's not enough
Love in a vacuum".
'Love In A Vacuum' for me is a hauntingly truthful acute argument on the loneliness of obsession and almost inevitable loss of love that follows people who are broken in some way or another; the obsessives, the coke heads, the drunks, addicts or the just-plain-old emotionally broken; a razor sharp, lyrically driven, deceptively poppy, yet ultimately-depressing-in-the-best-way song.
Quintessential Aimee Mann.
the new singer in evans blue is completely generic. im hoping that parabelle can get signed and have some money behind them to produce a better sounding album. I love there material but i definately feel the sound quality has something left to be desired. im a fan and cant wait to hear them live when they come to they bay area california.
