The Conversation Is... Lyrics
the flourescent billboards sell a wonderful life that doesn't exist anymore
the conversation is over.
Will I blame it on everyone else like I always do
so I'm a coward because of you
they've become the only way to a wonderful life with a happy ending
the conversation is over.
Will I blame it on everyone else like I always do
I'm a coward because of you
I'm finding it hard to explain
why I think that i'm right again
I'd love someone else to blame
so i'm a coward because of you
and then you try to understand
what it takes to be a man
and then you look into your heart, it defines you
this song has the most amazing into chords- written in some weird ass tuning appearantly... anyways great band, great album mon the biffy!
I can't believe no one has commented on this, it's so beautiful. I reckon it's about coming of age and taking responsibility for your actions instead of blaming everyone else.
"and then you try to understand what it takes to be a man and then you look into your heart, it defines you" :'-)
i love this song. favourite off puzzle.
Since most of the album is about the death of his mother I think this song is about that too:
""The fluorescent billboards sell a wonderful life that doesn't exist anymore" We all know they do that but how can he possibly be happy without his mother?
"Will I blame it on everyone else like I always do" He blames everything on everyone, he's not man enough to take the responsibility of his actions, will he do the same with this?
"Are pills the only way to make myself complete again" Drugs can be used to help people with depression, make losing his mother completely ruined him, are they the only way to make him complete because he's broken without her
I think the rest is about finding himself again, becoming a man and moving on with his life, "finding it hard to explain why I think I'm right again", I don't know about anyone else but I struggle to prove my point all the time even when I really strongly believe something because I'm scared of everyone else's reactions and judgements so I blow it off and get upset, he could be the same?
Just my thoughts
