sometimes it's time to
think about it
sometimes it's time to find time
it's not like you really lost it
like a lucky penny or your mind
a ghost of you is on her lips
a shattered glimpse of
when you'd play
leaving only silence
on another lonely day
it's not the time to feel
you have your instructions
now you better close the deal
do you hear me
when i'm talking to you
i said step up you stupid little fool
too long in the game to not know
the rules
step up step up step up
don't even think about
thinking about
what you're going to do
step up step up no way
some dimple's
going to take you back to school
i oh why
think about it
sometimes it's time to find time
he may be her lucky penny
that she'll never get to shine
them are melting
as he puts together the
bits of steel
he can still smell the
flowers she kissed
in a way that he could feel
her address and the day
and the usual instructions
to blow the mark away
you hear me
when i'm talking to you
i said, step up you stupid little fool
too long in the game to not know
the rules
step up step up step up
don't even think about
thinking about
what you're going to do
step up, step up no way
some dimple's
going to take you back to school
i oh why
why oh why
why oh why
yes this is your face
this is your truth
your hatred your disgrace
she may be a mirror
in jest of your mistakes
or a monster too
who could understand your place
she may be a mirror
she may be a mirror in jest
of your mistakes
she may be a monster
she may be a monster
she may be a monster
who could understand your place
you hear me
when i'm talking to you
I said, step up you little fool
too long in the game to not
know the rules
step up step up step up
don't even think about
thinking about
what you're going to do
step up, step up no way
some dimple's
going to take you back to school
a good song by a good band. she may be a mirror in jest of your mistakes or a monster too who could understand your place
agreed
defo, but whats it mean?
This song is one of the main reasons I even found this site. I was wondering what it was all about, searched around for about an hour, and ended up here. Since no one else has given thoughts on a meaning, I think it could have two meanings. The more straight-forward, logical meaning is that he lost a girl, and the shouting parts (STEP UP! I SAID STEP UP, YOU HEAR ME WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU?!) is a voice in his head telling him to stop moping. The more far-fetched, crazy meaning is that it's about a hitman who falls in love with the girl he's hired to kill (they sent you the money, her address and the day, and the usual instructions to blow the mark away). Hard to say, though. Really weird lyrics.
