I love this song so so much, definitely one of my favourites. Tbh I don't really know what I think it's about, but I'm going to say that it's about someone who has been in a relationship but has broken up due to something (idk maybe an arguement, maybe cheating) and they're now "digging a grave", basically they're burying the relationship, or trying to forget about it because thinking about it might cause them too much pain. "Hoping the sun will never come up" Is like hoping that a new day won't arrive, because a new day coming could mean them 'waking up' from this idea of a perfect relationship. And finally "there'll be no compromise again." Almost gives you the impression that they won't be able to rekindle the relationship, and "again" suggests that they have already had to compromise over something before. |

I absolutely love this song. To me, it's about, like, a lie about a relationship. The singer has been/ is in a relationship with someone, but there is no longer any real feelings and it's all a bit forced. Then he says "Uncover the mystery Tell everyone what you see" And to me that's like he doesn't actually want to say anything to anyone else about this 'untrue' relationship, but he does want people to know. So he's urging the listener - maybe his friend, maybe family - to discover the truth, then to "tell everyone what you see." The line "It's not what it seems" further highlights this I think. "Vulgar when brought to light" I think means a few things. So first of all, it's an ugly thing that you wouldn't really expect. But also "when brought to light" highlights the fact that it has been kept in the dark - in the dark; in a bedroom. I think this hints to a failing sex life and to bring it to the light (aka to turn on the light, open the curtains and windows and let some air in) and allow other people to see makes it this horrible and "vulgar" thing. And finally I think that " deadweight on velveteen" symbolises that whilst the couple may have a seemingly perfect relationship in relative luxury compared to most, they don't feel the same way for each other and therefore need it to end. But that's just my thoughts. |
