I'm surprised how wrong you all are. Not to be offensive, sorry.
"Misery is all we know lately
Saturdays are all the same
Sympathy is overrated
Like a snapshot when you've lost the game"
The relationship has failed and sympathizing with the other will not resolve conflicts so deeply rooted. No matter the level of understanding-- The differences are irreconcilable. We have lost.
"Now it's all the funeral
I've become a serial
Killer of us both
Now it's all the funeral
I've become a serial
Killer of us both"
I have to call it here. It's done. Commence the funeral to grieve and cope what we once had because there is no further to go.
"No, I
Don't want to get thrown in your ocean
Don't try
You know that we already know it
It's over"
I pretty literal statement. I am not a fish in your sea. We are not only done here but there is no possibility in the future either.
"At your own burial
Don't forget to cry
At your own burial"
CRY! There is something to grieve at the loss of what we had. Cope with the loss and don't have hope of this ever returning.
"Licking up my eighty-first birthday
Every day this body goes to waste
Remembering how I would raise an army
When we went back to your place"
Now I am worn... I have been wearing down for so long and my starry eyed youth will not return. Once I had the energy to fight for anything, but now I begrudgingly accept that there's nothing left to that man.
@aaronsc cool, sounds spot on to me...
i'm kinda wondering about the "snapshot when you've lost the game"...i am not thinking it has any significant meaning to the OVERALL meaning of the song...so it's kinda irrelevant but i'm curious, it mean?
ok, a snapshot, that'd be a photo, is overrated when you've lost the game, so like you don't want a picture of a moment in a game you lost? That seems to be the only meaning, interesting that for his comparison of how overrated sympathy between them was, he chose something so arbitrary...bcse personally i wouldn't mind a snapshot of a...

So this one is going over my head or making me scratch it. For such deliberate lyrics...seems like an odd choice. But, i have faith i'm missing something, or i'm just a lot more vain than other people but i even like barrel shots of barrels i didn't come out of. THey ARE overrated though...anyway, not criticising, how could you?!
@CaptSibigeuon
Sympathy towards a past event that cannot be changed is like a person who is sad while looking at the picture of a lost game. It's okay to be sad from time to time while viewing this picture "don't forget to cry", but don't let that sympathy turn to misery that will consume your whole life-- Blending together every day to be the same tragic mundane existence out of sadness, each saturday to saturday. On my 81st Birthday as an old man I will sit at the end of the line and view the happier moments with nostalgia....

The picture of the game lost holds a lot of meaning to this song, because it was in that mental snapshot the other person decided to live forever in sorrow. They never viewed it as a funeral to a lost time to then move on. They improperly treated it as a death of self. On the other hand, he "licks up" his 81st birthday. He lives up to it despite while he goes to waste, he lived through the misery and joy to still be able to recall that joy in the end. To view something nostalgically and to view something in sympathy is a very different beast.
It's good that you like the pictures of a game lost. You enjoy living no matter the outcome. Many will be destroyed in those moments and find it hard to carry on. We should always enjoy those snapshots. The depth/passion of every moment (even those containing misery) is such an intricate experience to live, as long as you remember to live/experience them fully. Without those moments and without those moments ensured as passing, a person has yet to live a REAL life at all.
Sorry, I can type for hours on Miike Snow's lyrics. One of the few artists that carries a real depth to their lyrics, and done so beautifully at that.
