On Foreigner Lyrics

Cover art for On Foreigner lyrics by Islands

maybe Hes talking about shooting up listening to foreigner and being a foreigner himself...

"Fall in, fall in, fall in, no one will know Go on, fall in, no one will know"

maybe looking at the needle wanting it but still hesitant...

"Hold on, foreigner, on you go"

possibly talking to the record telling it to hold on when he soots up...

"Heard it all, I've heard it all but it won't hurt at all."

the needle telling him yeah I know what you heard but its ok, it wont even hurt.

"Shy away, shy away, but don't try to get away"

then the needle tells him he may be hesitant but he will still do it...

"Turn me on a rousing song for sympathetic ears"

the record is saying play me! I always cheer you up.

"No one cares, no one's there and you, you disappear"

but he says no, nobody cares and you just drift off (when he shoots up)

"Fall in, fall in, fall in, no one will know Go on, fall in, no one will know"

hes telling himself to go on and do it nobody will know...

"Left behind, left behind, left behind"

maybe he feels alone in a foreign land.

Well, that might be it, I might be crazy to think that he would be "talking" to these things but its kinda like havin an argument with yourself or maybe an argument with your addiction and your conscience is saying "no!" but the drugs win...

Ok I just did that really quick so it looks pretty bad but let me know what you think, I love to hear other ideas!

that was a bit of a stretch lol.
