Add Your New Review About The Song The Reviews about The Center Of The World (page 1/1) ------ performed by Bright Eyes The Center of the World | Reviewer: Zoja | 4/11/2008 I interpret the last part of it to be about a girl he loves who comes home after her tiring job and is unable to sleep with all the things on her mind, and so she keeps taking sleeping pills but they're not working, and she ends up overdosing. "Two pills are not enough, the alarm clock's going off, but you are not waking up." This is such a tragic song. It invokes more and more emotion as it goes on. This is definitely an example of one of Conor's most beautiful lyrics. maybe | Reviewer: chae | 2/3/2008 the grains of sand are us. the girl is god. she blows us about, wind representing uncertainty and the abstract. the sea is death, coming ever closer, wanting to swallow us in its "endless blue." the "horror of the truth" is the idea that there is nothing after life. humans are creatures of habit - its true. so what then is religion? conor always battles with this stuff in hsi songs. he wants to believe "in his soul" but doesnt know if its true. are the souls of humans hollow?
