i love this song. mew always makes me cheer up with these lonely songs.
as the title 'behind the drapes' suggests, we as individuals feel all left out. like in a stage when all the attention is on the actors on stage, the ones working hard behind the drapes don't get so much credit at all.
why are we so alone even with company?
-- sometimes, even if we are with friends, there really are instances when we feel left out. not all the time do we feel really accompanied around people. like for instance, you are in a bus with all the people but none of them could offer you great company or something like that. you are still alone despite the number of people surrounding you.
if not the moon will us guide, will then the street lights.
--it sounds like desperation and contentment all at the same time to me. we could all sometimes just depend on the street lights if someone who promised the moon cannot actually keep it.
