im leaving a lot of song interpretations right now because im in a thinking mood. so here goes for this one.
how is it you feel? ----how do you feel about your life?
I remember you at the top of my room
all these things we wondered how to hide ------we were ashamed of who we really were
see how it works when
all the day long in a bottle of mud------see how life is when you stifle yourself with shame and doubt
all these fears we wondered how to hide our love
how is it you feel when you run?----do you really feel good when you try to deny yourself?
ships won't come in in a bottle of mud----bottle of mud is a metaphor for actions that obscure who you really are----ships wont come in-----nothing is achieved when you act like this
all this time looking for love and-----you spend your time trying to achieve a romanticized conventional ideal type of life
you want to find peace
but you find me
mandrary fields where we run
see how it works with a bottle of rum--same kind of imagery as before
all this time hiding from death
and we want to be strong
but we find the true story
a tale
writing itself as we sail------life is unpredictable---life happens as you live it
a story
a tale
writing itself as we wail
oh no
never again my dear
shall we come dancing here--------let's not pretend and try to live up to other people's standards of what we should be doing....trying to posture and impress people
we'll play guitar and video games-----we can take pleasure in the simple things in life
what if we refused to follow the rules of fashion?-----would it be so bad to be ourselves, despite other people finding distate in it?
tell me something you'd tell a fool
ways to refuse to follow the rules of fashion
how is it you feel when?
remember you in the top of my room
all these things remade me and caused
to be something grand
never again shall we
come dancing in the sea
we'll play guitar for a new (2x)
we'll play guitar and video games
anyway i didnt feel like doing every line...but i think the song is about being true to yourself and not trying to live up to other people's perceptions of who you are, or their expectations of who you should be.
