Alibi Lyrics

Cover art for Alibi lyrics by David Gray

I think this song is definently about drug use...When you look at the film clip, it shows a girl growing up, she has the perfect life and everything you could wish for "shes an enfant, which means the spoilt and favoured child" - shes perfect in most peoples eyes. Then she started to taking drugs - where d'it all go wrong? - and he says he'll bite the hand that feeds her more, which I'd say is all the people who are selling her these drugs, he hates what they're doing to this perfect woman/girl

"Find the word Could break any spell that binds you"

  • maybe this means like, if he could find the words, could he break her out of her drugged out state? I dont know if this is right, but its the first thing that came to my mind when I heard this song and saw the clip for it
