Tiger Lyrics

Lyric discussion by ladyethelwinterbottom 

Wrong and wrong, sorry. This song is about heroin. It uses metaphors, much like "Yellow" or "Hotel California". The reference to the tiger is about the drug creeping up on people; those who know heroin is bad stay away etc. Its actually quite simple when you listen to it knowing what its about. And as for people claiming that Bjorn did not know what he was writing about- thats truly an insult. He is a very astute man, extremely clever. He knew exactly what he was writing about and covered quite a number of very adult topics, cleverly disguised as bubble gum pop..

Ah yes! I see it. I knew the people saying it was a rapist were stretching. I thought it to be a more general: simply about the multiple dangers of the city, but heroin explains many of the lines. However, "never walk alone after midnight," what does that mean?

@ladyethelwinterbottom Except the nickname for heroin is brown not yellow. And it doesn't mention Hotel California. It's most likely about the dangers of night life and predators on the streets.

Have you even read their other lyrics? Erotic obession is everywhere, not heroin ????
