"I pass my sister on a bus
Let's take the country road before our parents send for us"
The sister sees them on the bicycle and is going to tell the parents where they are. Maybe they ditched school?
Musically, this is my favorite Arcade Fire song. It has so much beauty and raw emotion.
Lyrically, I feel that it is possible that the writer feels isolated and perhaps an outcast in their community. They want to go away but feel there is nowhere to go, or they don't know how.
At the end, I feel as if they are the product of a failed society, and feel like failed experiments. They feel they don't belong, and are not sure what to do about it. Their parents likely would never understand this, or maybe they are too caught up in their own feelings and problems to notice.
There could be many meanings blended together in this song, and some perhaps intentionally abstract. Some of the previous views expressed are very interesting.
Is there any official information regarding the meaning of this song?
