Trains and sewing machines were here first, before planes and cars and everything took over. New technology is corrupting everyones' minds. "Oily marks appear on walls where pleasure moments hung before" refers to oil factories messing up this world and poisoning the environment that used to be so clean. I love these lyrics because they can also be interpreted many different ways, not just this way. Imogen Heap is such a great artist. =] | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/22/09 this song is beautiful. it is open for many interpretations. this song may have been written about 9/11 but it relates to so many other things. everyone can relate it to a personal experiance. that is the beauty of music. this part... 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? sends chills down my spine. it's so powerful and innocent. almost made me cry. i love this song All good points | Reviewer: Josh | 1/24/09 I think your all wrong about trying to find a one truth in the song. At the same time I feel your all right about your views of what it means to you individually. While the artists' obviously meant to express their feelings about a certain emotional experience or their take of the one at hand,... I feel this is the beauty of music like this. Its in it's own genius. The idea that music is all about emotions, and they allowed the listener to have his/her own expressive view on things being referred to, not specifically guided like most music. Beautiful and Great lyrics no doubt. After the funeral | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/22/09 I've heard this song so many times and I just love it. But, the last time I heard it and even just now, thinking about it, I start to tear up. When I heard it last time, I suddenly had this feeling that the song was about someone who had died, an older female, like someone's mother. A family member who had been living faraway came back for the funeral, and when they went to the family's house afterward, they found everything had been given away to charity. No more furniture, no pictures on the wall, all the clothes given away. And, the family member is angry that this was done without consulting them first about it. Having recently gone to a funeral for one of my parents, I felt a connection to the song because my other parent has completely taken over the house and changed everything in it. They lived seperate lives in different houses and it feels like a takeover and I know they think it's for the best, but it feels wrong too somehow. Anyway, that's my take, although I love the analogy to 9-11 too. Fantastic song! 9/11 theory | Reviewer: simon | 1/19/09 For me the 9/11 concept is a powerful one.... First verses about the shock of the images of the towers... the dust is an obvious reference. As the building falls, the carpets leave 'crop circles' as the furniture is momentarily suspended above. The people in the streets cannot believe it, they hold their heads. 'Hide and seek' refers to looking for the missing relatives... trains and sewing machines are ordinary things, that suddenly seem out of joint. The sweeping insensitivity is the thinking that killing thousands of innocent people for a religious ideal could possibly be a good idea. 'All those years/they were here first' could be about the sudden disappearance of valued lives..likewise blood and tears. Oily marks could refer to the photos hung up of loved ones, or the stained landscape of the aftermath. Bush (and the medias response generally) cannot connect with the genuine Human feelings of those who lost relatives 'you don't care a bit' section. The Holocaust/Future world/broken relationship interpretations are also perfectly valid. Like poetry, each person puts their own interpretation on the song - which is as it should be. Once Imogen's song is in the public arena, it means what you feel it means to you, and no-one can say 'you can't think that'!!! So don't insult people for having different views.... I think.. | Reviewer: kate | 1/19/09 I think its about a man and woman and the man has suddenly become very vilont "oily marks on the walls where pleasure moments hung before the takeover" the "pleasure marks" being things like photos that represented a plesurable time before "the take over" of anger and vilonce. 'Trains and sewing machines (oh you won't catch me around here" meaingind she's running away and thanks to technology it will be hard to find here. I thinks its called hide and seek because she's hiding and he's seeking her. "Ransom notes keep falling from your mouth mid sweet talk news paper cutouts" are refering to the vilont threats and the sweet talk used to apologise. You don't care a big refers to the fact the vilont man doens care. ren | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/14/09 well these are all good points and all but when i listen to the song i see the overwhelming takeover of technology in the modern world and how its disabling our ability to feel emotion. "oily marks where pleasure moments once hung before the takeover" indicates the destruction of homely residences to make way for factories etc. "trains and sewing machines" doesnt really need explaining. "blood and tears they were here first" we used to do things for ourselves to survive without the aid of technology. "mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut outs speak no feeling" things typed on paper express no feeling at all unlike the true spoken word. "mm watcha say? that you only meant well?" our development of technology was to make our lives easier but has slowly made us overly dependent on it to allow us to exist. "speak no feeling" "no you dont care a bit" void of emotion the 9/11 theory is good i can see your point . | Reviewer: :] | 1/13/09 i think that the song is about a sepeeration, it may not be a relationship, but seperation of a mother and a child. 911 is possible , but the words point towards a seperation . in the end , everyone has their own interpretaion of the song . its what you think it means , no what others think is right. xx This is totally Wrong... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/12/09 Okay i have this really wrong, but i thot i'd put it down anyways. i thought it was about the Industrial Revolution (1800's). When things in everyday life started to change and become more about products and speed and technology. obviously cuz of : Trains and Sewing machines ( that time is when both were invented) spin me round again, and rub my eyes, this cant be happening ( everything is so new, they cant believe it!) kinda stupid i know, i see some other comments waaaay better. i guess cuz im learing about it in history class right now, made me think about it Colmbine Massacre | Reviewer: Nina Williams | 1/12/09 I first heard this song on a video from youtube about the columbine massacre with this song in the background, and i feel like it really made it more powerful its a really sad song and kinda made it worse to watch.
