Makes sense about the Jew/Nazi thing | Reviewer: Steve C | 9/18/09 where are we? what the hell is going on? the dust has only just begun to form crop circles in the carpet sinking feeling - They were all taken by surprise and the nazi's took their furniture and burned it in the street. They had a feeling things were starting to come undone a sinking feeling. spin me round again and rub my eyes, this can't be happening when busy streets a mess with people would stop to hold their heads heavy -Everything was spun around and turned upside down. They're crying, wipe their eyes. All the world stopped and lowered their head because of what was happening. oily marks appear on walls where pleasure moments hung before the takeover, the sweeping insensitivity of this still life - The nazi's would mark houses with red paint to let everyone else know that it had been checked for Jews often writing "Juden" on it. Those are the oily marks where things were happy before the insensitivity of the Nazi's. hide and seek trains and sewing machines (oh, you won't catch me around here) blood and tears (hearts) they were here first - Jews hiding while Nazi's sought them out to put then on trains and make them sew for the Fuhrer. (you won't find me near there) Tears are caused from the death's the other people. They were here first... Jew's were there before the Germans came. Mmmm whatcha say, Mmm that you only meant well? well of course you did Mmmm whatcha say, Mmmm that it's all for the best? of course it is Mmmm whatcha say? Mmmm that it's just what we need you decided this whatcha say? Mmmm what did she say? - you thought you were doing the right things since your leader was telling you to do it. Again same thing. Then the what did she say countries are often referred to as "She" ie. Mother Russia... What's your country have to say now basically. ransom notes keep falling out your mouth mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut outs speak no feeling no I don't believe you you don't care a bit, you don't care a bit - The media lied about everything going on over there. Making people not care. Even after Hitler died the Germans kept publishing lies in the paper that he was still carrying out plans as normal. Finally... people don't care. A lot of people forgot and a lot of people claim the existence of the holocaust as fiction. Wow. Can we put a halt to the ignorance? | Reviewer: LB | 9/10/09 This is a piece of poetry, and it can be interpreted however you want it to, so can we be mature and not be like "OMG YOU'RE AN IDIOT YOU'RE WRONG" and whoever posted before me, if you can't even use correct grammar or spelling, no one's going to take your petty childish insult seriously. wonderful | Reviewer: unsuree.. | 9/12/09 wow. what an awsome song. iv read alot of different interpretations of this song and agree that everyone must interperet it differently. its wrong for someone to say somebody elses i terpretation is incorrect as it makes sense to them. personally, everyones interpretation makes sense to me as each of the lines have different meanings to different people. the interpretation of love and heartbreak is the most common i believe as that is what most songs are about these days, although the holocost interpretation is quite an interesting one as it makes sense and the song has a deeper meening that just another break up song. i like this idea although may not neccessarily be the right one. only the singer can answer that so.. cheers :) Ambiguous | Reviewer: Evan | 9/13/09 hide and seek A strong case can be made for either interpretation. Maybe it's supposed to be open-ended. Maybe it's extremely personal and never supposed to be interpreted. these two lines seem to support the nazi/jew theory: "trains and sewing machines all those years they were here first oily marks appear on walls where pleasure moments hung before the takeover, the sweeping insensitivity of this still life" But the WHOLE ENTIRE REST of the song seems to be extremely personal. ESPECIALLY the whole "What you say? You only meant well" part, which, incidentally, is one of the best parts. Which brings me to the train/sewing machine part. They both make a similar "chuga-chug" sound, which may relate to a heartbeat, strengthening the case fore this being a personal song. Some people who don't understand, it's this thing called "Opinion..." | Reviewer: Eternity | 9/9/09 Okay, some people (indeed including the reviewer below me). The song will mean different things to different people! Every song, piece of art, in fact, EVERYTHING does mean something different to EVERYONE! Imogen Heap may have written it about something completely different, everyone interprets things differently, everyone's mind works differently... Don't go bashing people for having a different interpretation of something than you do. That's what ignorant people do. And we have more than enough of those in the world nowadays. Anyway, that said, Imogen Heap is freaking amazing - she writes all her music, mixes it, puts in all the sounds, everything. I haven't heard much of her new album that just came out a couple weeks ago, but I hope it's just as good as the rest of her awesomeness :D Peace Love and Pomegranate Tea to whomever it may concern | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/8/09 um whoever thinks this is about the holocaust you are an absolute retard dude it has nothing to do with that- the fact that you would even bring that up is hilarious, dumb-ass!!! hahahhaha fucking fucktard this song is obviously about a break up BYE i agree... | Reviewer: kellie | 9/8/09 i agree with the holocust thing... if you listen and look at the lyrics. "crop cirlces in the carpet" -the nazis took all the furniture and burned it leaving nothing but the imprint in the carpets of where it was. "when busy streets a mess with people" - When they were kicked out of their homes some had to live in the streets... or when the nazis invaded, they all were in the streets being separated to go to different camps. "trains and sewing machines" -like the other guy said they were made to travel in trains to the different camps wihle some worked in factories sewing for the german armys. "oily marks appear on walls where pleasure moments hung before the takeover, the sweeping insensitivity of this still life" -the pictures that were left on the walls before the takeover began... meaning the nazi takeover, the insensitivity of the germans. "blood and tears" -of the familys and children that had to deal with this horrible event. And the blood of all the jews that were killed it makes way more since than a break up or a divorce... amazing | Reviewer: macie | 9/7/09 I am in love with this song! i have listend to it about a million times and i just got it a few hours ago. Imogen heap is a wonderful artist and she deserves some sort of award for this song, because it seems to have moved so many people and thats what music is supposed to do. Keep writing amazing songs and know that you are a great artist!!! <3 Add Your New Review About The Song By Pages:   1    2    3    4    5    6    7    8    9    10   Next 10 Pages
