Before I begin, mark my words -
these guys will be big soon.
They're great.
Anyway -
if you haven't seen the video, you should.
The quality is poor, and it was a low budget production, but it's still great, and will definitely help make the meaning a bit clearer.
You can view the video here.
[Hehe - I know the girl who played in the video as the 'sleaze', as I say, haha.]
It's simply about making mistakes and not jumping the gun. That's what the video makes of it, anyway.
The lyrics, however, tell a different story.
When I first heard the song, I immediately knew I had the meaning down pat, or so I thought.
MY take on this song is thus:
A young man [as the song speaks in third person of a girl] falls in 'love' with said girl. He is so blinded by his false love of her that he's shaded from her true personality.
["Believe in what you think is real"]
Then along comes her real intentions and true colors, and he's dumbfounded by it.
["Feast your eyes over there
The perfect gun to keep you undone
You know that she's the one
Believe it or not
You're staring at her hips
A cigarette in between her lips
The prize is in the bag, yeah"]
In this he looks upon his 'true love' and sees what she really is - a bit of a sleaze, haha.
Then comes the argument. He confronts her and she tries to deny his story, but he knows what he saw, and he won't back down.
["Worlds collide in between your heads
The smell of men wanted her instead
Her intent is just to play"]
And then the following backs-up my opinion of her 'sleazy' behavior; that she plays men, basically.
["She moves like the devil
And knows what is evil
She'll rip your heart out
And find another prey"]
I think the rest of it is simple enough to understand.
However, like I stated earlier - the lyrics and the video go together quite nicely, but the lyrics alone tell a different tale.
:) First comment.
