The Arcade Fire Lyrics


The last year has been an eventful one for The Arcade Fire.
In June 2003, Régine’s grandmother Nancy died; in August,
Win and Régine were married; in September, the Arcade Fire
started recording their debut album. In March 2004, Win and
Will’s grandfather Alvino Rey died; Richard Parry’s Aunt

having been something of a heavy hitting year, the band’s

Review about The Arcade Fire songs
Strong song | Reviewer: Thomas
    ------ About the song Black Mirror performed by The Arcade Fire

It took some time to really touch my nerves, this song. I think it's so excellent. It sounds like threat, nervousness, panic. It sounds so urgent.
The text is mysterious to me.
First the image of the ocean with no light reflecting on it: black mirror. It's derp and dark and wide. It's threatening.
Then the security camera image of a person, but you can't really see anything, can't look him in tne eye. It's pseudo security, no contact.
3rd couplet: i think it's about when there will be fights instead of talking, words have no meaning anymore, they're empty, cause many are being self-centered. No contact between people.
Etc
Let me know if you agree or think differently.
Ciao
Thomas

    ------ About the song Wake Up performed by The Arcade Fire

damn this is such a good song. this song talks about growing up and learning that the world is nothing we thought it was. most everyone will let us down and most everything will disappoint us. though its painful, we all need to grow up or else we can never hope to change what makes growing up painful.

Venice | Reviewer: Mister Eli
    ------ About the song Neighborhood #2 (Laika) performed by The Arcade Fire

The Arcade Fire's Funeral album always teleports me to Venice and reminds me of The Thief Lord by Cornelia Funke. Couldn't really tell you why. The album's cover also has a strong feeling of Renaissance.

    ------ About the song Wake Up performed by The Arcade Fire

If you identify with this song you're most likely a sociopath or psychopath. The odd thing to me (a healthy person with the ability to love deeply) is with the people that relate to the lyrics and recognize their emotional deformities, don't change....is it because they're only in love with themselves. Why cant you (socio/psycho-paths) fix yourself. Why cant you begin to heal and let love in?

    ------ About the song Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels) performed by The Arcade Fire

just a response to Kacee's review..I am glad you like the song but Arcade Fire is NOT a one hit wonder by any means. They are one of the best canadian artists today and their new record is unbelievable..sorry just had to clarify this is an old song of theirs and each record is better than the last!!

    ------ About the song Wake Up performed by The Arcade Fire

Totally love this song. I know the original meaning of this song has nothing to do with what it means to me. I am a childhood trauma survivor with dissociative identity disorder. (used to be called Multiple personality disorder) Parts of me are still children, parts are adult. We are working toward integration. Use your imagination when you read those lyrics and you might see what it means to me.

    ------ About the song Wake Up performed by The Arcade Fire

The last stanza, "With my lightning bolts glowing..." through "You better look out below." This stanza immediately reminded me of Zeus from Greek mythology. I don't know if any one else can see where I'm coming from here, but Those words made me feel empowered. It's like he's saying "Now that i've grown up, I can now see where I stand, and I am standing a taller and stronger person because of all I've been through in the end."

I don't know, maybe my new found emotional optimism is making me take these lyrics all wrong. lol. But lyrics can mean something different to every listener, can't they?

Great song with deep meaning | Reviewer: David I
    ------ About the song Wake Up performed by The Arcade Fire

This Touches you inside
Basically it says maybe we were lied to when we were young and were forced to grow up, but the song says go against the mistakes and stop destroying the true inner feelings and express yourself as needed.

Intervention | Reviewer: pete
    ------ About the song Intervention performed by The Arcade Fire

This song was written specifically about the Bush administration. It's referring to the non-seperation of church and state as well as the financial state of our country, among other things. war, church and debt.

Sad | Reviewer: Jackie
    ------ About the song Neighborhood #4 (7 Kettles) performed by The Arcade Fire

What I got from this song is that you cant wait around for someone to do something. YOU have to take the initiative. YOU have to do something, because no one else is going to. For some reason I think he is singing about the population problem. It was mostly the part about "My eyes are being covered by my un-born kids" and "you cant raise a baby on motor oil." I'm probably wrong about that part though.
