it's broken up because these are what the alarms are saying. They are mimicing the sound of alarms.
Then it says these things get louder, as by saying the alarms are getting louder.
I think it is saying, slowed to a sing along call.
That is why it is the repetative rhythmic portion. This is so you can feel the sing alongness.
This is also why the oh, oh, oh, oh part is in there.
Obviously it is all mediphoric, but I would think the "oh, oh, oh, oh" part is the actual alarms (even though they don't exist) and the "Slow down Please" is what he is interpreting.
Like the song says "slowed to a sing along" this is why that line is scattered everywhere, to make them sing along. They can be removed without loosing context. What is left should be the meaning.
Also at the end, it probably does say, "you will find moves"
The alarms are what find moves so I suppose this is the big part of the song where you realize that you, the listener, and all people are the alarms. He feels that we are all telling him, or society is telling him to slow down. Hense, "I live among the alarms"
I believe
You’ve had some-
Thing that’s mine
all this time
Fork it over.
I live among
the alarms
Where I trip
Where they sing
Hey come over.
Up the hill
Goes the time
Righteous beat
of my step
Undiscovered.
And all the years
At quarter speed
Haloed at
trembling cleat
Turning over.
The live alarms
And your true
Villain loved
Are kept at bay
Like you wrote this.
Will the beams
Be broken cross
Motion sense
It’s our heat
It’s not over.
You will find moves.
So here is the break down. The song is about his music carrer and life. We are the alarms. He wants us to trip and bring people to him to better his music carrer, (maybe.) He wants to get his music out. That sort of thing.
where they trip. where they sing "hey come over" This is you.
ritcheous beat of my step, undiscovered. this is him not being discovered as a musician or more
But the alarms are saying "Slow Down Please."
I think this is a generalization of our society. Even getting a building permit is the slowest thing in the world. He is pushing ahead and the faster he goes the slower he is told to go. He feels like he is moving at quarter speed, and although he is loved for his music and we would love to hear more, He is the villain and is kept at bay.
The last part is saying that even if he trips the "alarms" he wont give up.
I imagine he is having trouble with the bureacracy of his music carrer. Maybe he is having trouble supporting his music carrer because of free downloaded music and that is the "hey come on over" part. People telling others but he isn't getting anything for it. "like you wrote this" and the download websites are he true villans alternately the music industry.
Also could just be society in a more general term, or trying to do all the day to day of getting copywrites, copywriting images for cd labels. Getting art for the labels. etc.
hopefully this is enough to get everyone thinking.
ok after listening more I have corrections.
Slow down (please?) Slow down
