Aren't we leaving today?
Abandoning the world
No more cities...
we'll kill technology
No more boys
no more girls
I'd prefer the snow
You and I... drown in the blue and cold
We'll fall...
So alone
Teach me how to whisper...
Are we leaving today?
We're learning to die
Learning to solve everything through beautiful goodbyes
I'd prefer the snow
We'll fall..
So alone
Teach me how to whisper...
These are 100% correct because they come straight from Jamison himself.
This is my favorite song ever and I think I have an pretty accurate meaning behind it. Antarctica is a plea for solitude, but conjoined solitude. (yes, a paradox) He wants to be alone, away from anything and everyone, but he wants to go with the one he loves, he wants to just be alone and be the only two people in the world.
Another meaning I have thought of though is suicide. Death is associated with the cold. Drown, blue (face?) and cold are all death related. As well as his want to solve everything (his various everyday problems) through a beautiful goodbye, possibly suicide. He also uses the word "kill" as in "kill technology" I'm sure there are other words he could have used there. He is abandoning the world and escaping the only way he sees fit; suicide.
