And if you promise to stay conscious I will try and do the same. We might die from medication, but we sure killed all the pain. But what was normal in the evening by the morning seems insane... just for the fact i know what its like to have a night full of crazy things!!! but to tell you the truth i dont regret anything that ever made me smile or laugh or just happy... Heroin? How passe... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/12/09 Heroin? You can't be serious? First of all I can't imagine anyone ducking out to the bathroom to rack or inject heroin a few times a night... only to come back to rejoin the party again. The situation is descriptive of someone with a cocaine addiction. Conor is brutally honest about 2 people in this song. An Eddie Sedgwick type figure, skinny and probably tragically beautiful. And a man with a fierce night time persona. Both probably struggling with depression. While both medicated, both dealing with it in different ways. 1. Drugs. 2. Affirmation through meeting, sleeping with, and deserting women. At least he's honest when he say's, "you can count on me to split". I agree with the reviewer "coke". Blown Away | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/28/09 I just listened to this song for the first time and I am truely blown away. I agree with who wrote Think about it saying it being about a heroin addiction but also can be interpreted in many other different types of addiction. I agree more with it being about heroin the most though just looking at a lot of this song. Especially the part about staying conscious. and getting rid of all the pain. A big reason people start doing heroin is because they are depressed and want something to take them away from all that. Here, this part is huge... "And I'm not sure what the trouble was that started all of this The reasons all have run away, but the feeling never did." Heroin doesn't make you feel happy. It doesn't really bring you up if you are depressed. You kind of stay at that level of depresion however you forget about all of the problems in your life and the reason you were so upset to begin with. And nothing really matters except the moment you are living. And if you happen to be with a person that you care about, the feelings you have while you are high are so much more intense then when you are sober which make sense with a lot of parts about the mornings. I could probably go on forever but I need to stop. Thats just my input. You all have very good comments too. Think about it | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/19/09 Its about drugs and his struggle to get sober I don't know if you have been to a concert but the last one I was at he was wasted I think this song is talking about heroin in particular but it also talks alcohol as well I think that close minded guy should realize there is no hidden message it is not a complex song the whole meaning is very literal and makes perfect sense close minded. | Reviewer: Kat | 1/11/09 I think everyone here is being ridiculous in saying "this means that and that means this". HELLO ! The main reason for why we all love Bright Eyes lyrics is because you can interprate them any way you want. His main goal was to have EVERYONE, differences set aside, relate to his lyrics. Anyone can relate to this. Anyways. I just think you guys should keep to yourselves and let the readers mind wander. I'm sure Conor would have wanted imagination. AMAZING | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/8/09 I'm supposed to paint a picture of one my favorite songs that has meaning for an art assignment. I'm still researching, but i think this will definitely come out on top. Can someone please give me an idea for a painting for it? words that understand | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/6/09 I was an addict along with my ex. I made it through and quit that life. He didn't. He left me, said he didn't want me anymore after I turned my back on everyone for us to be together. I had to deal with it on my own. I made it but am still really depressed he didn't have the strength. Love Drugs | Reviewer: Brandon | 12/10/08 In the spirit of the author, it takes one to know one, and I am a drug addict. IF no one here has been an addict before they don't understand the backwards kind of love that exists between a couple of addicts. It is a light at the end of the tunnel and even though it will be extinguished long before any destination is reached, the company is worth the trouble. This song encompasses that feeling well. By the way, One flask isn't gonna get two people drunk, but couple it with a couple vicodin and it will do the trick. Only one disagreement with the other reviews on here is that the line "The reasons have all run away but the feeling never did" is a beautifully written explanation to the end to these faux loves that come along to ease the pain (pun intended)because the reasons to continue the arrangment have all run off but the feeling never does. Great song. once and for all-its totally about drugs. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/24/08 seriously-this song is about people who have a drug problem. not only is this obvious by the lyrics (esp if youve been/are there) but it makes sense for conor to write about this situation because hes been in it. "Supplies are endless in the evening by the morning they'll be gone" **Supplies=code word for drugs. There are always plenty at night but always consumed by the morning. "You're looking skinny like a model with your eyes all painted black Just keep going to the bathroom, always say you'll be right back Well, it takes one to know one, kid, I think you've got it bad But what's so easy in the evening by the morning's such a drag" **I can totally see why Bulimia could be plausible, but I really think it's coke. If you're bulimic (been there), you puke once or twice after eating and what party after hours has much food? Coke you have to go to the bathroom for frequently and girls on coke always have dark eyes to hide the circles. He says it takes one to know one-Conor has never been bulimic but he has been a drug addict. And in the morning coming down always sucks. "We might die from medication, but we sure killed all the pain But what was normal in the evening by the morning seems insane" **Okay-self explanatory, no? "And I'm not sure what the trouble was that started all of this The reasons all have run away, but the feeling never did It's not something I would recommend, but it is one way to live Cause what is simple in the moonlight by the morning never is" **Theres always a reason when you start doing drugs but then it dissolves and you just do them to do them and becaause it feels good. In the morning its complicated, yes, but at night it always feels oh so good. I would also argue that this isn't necessarily a relationship but that it might be a one night stand or a hook up with a girl he met at a party or something. "But me I'm not a gamble, you can count on me to split The love I sell you in the evening by the morning won't exist" **The drugs they do make them feel in love and close, but he promises its just for the night. But hey I'm just ex-bulimic 19 y/o drug addict, so what do I know? xo xo Add Your New Review About The Song By Pages:   1    2    3    4    5    6    7
