Cover art for Zurich Is Stained lyrics by Pavement

To me I feel like this song is about making decisions. in my opinion it could be about love

I can't sing it strong enough Because that kind of strength I just don't have With a watch, the light changed To "hold" then "hanging"

Someone lost hope in himself the watch symbolizes time and everchanging self hold and hanging are two different things holding is something where both parties hold together hanging is when only one party is hanging on to another

You think it's easy, but you're wrong I am not one half of the problem Zürich is stained, and it's not my fault Just hold me back or let me run

Deciding whether to stay home or move to Zurich In arguments, sometimes it feels like the person you are arguing with guilt trips you Zurich is stained, and it's not my fault could mean something irrelevant or running on a tangent to stay or letting go

So what does it mean, a mistake or two If it's the kind of mistakes no one can trace To the fountain where we sold it And held them hanging?

Everyone is prone to make mistakes and all we can ever do is learn and forgive There are times when we deny mistakes in order to defend our character we hide our faults through untraceable facts somewhere pretty like a fountain ever flowing water connecting held and hanging (two opposite words) now hold is past tense.
