I imagine a man on the brink of a major life change here, thinking back to advice he's been given - from an old man (perhaps one with regrets and advice specific to his situation), his mother and, according to RockNRollOut, a couple of prophets in Wiggs and Matty. Thinkin' about what an old man said / (Thinkin' about what my mother once said / Thinkin' about what Wiggs & Matty said)įallon's narrators and Fallon himself are quite contemplative. I think RockNRollOut has the verses and overall song interpretation covered very well.įor me, I have some different thoughts on the meaning of the chorus: If we don't come through, they gonna bury us alive Here are the correct lyrics straight from the book This all happens in the middle of a shower (rain). He changes his mind and the only way he can see to get home is to call an ambulance. He then unwillingly takes drugs (I've never felt so strange) and starts to have flashbacks about his mother (what my mother once said), a person he looks up to (an old mn said), as it gets worse he sees people he has never met (Wiggs and Matty said ). She decides to go anyway, so he gets very drunk (i've never felt so strange) and is regreting how much he has drunk and considers the safest way to get home(mabey I should call me an ambulance) this all happens in the middle of a shower (rain)
I have two possible meanings about what the chorus might mean: She still wants to, however, so they argue some more and he starts to tell her how much they will be missed and if they do go (if we don't come through, they're gonna bury us alive) and she'll regret it and always wish for the life she could have had (in this great abyss of just what might have been), he also tells her that she'll just end like all the other's who have tried to get out of his town before (sit at the bar with all the other broken heros). She agrees with him and they laugh about the thought (were fine about it.and we laughed about it). He knows that it's a bad idea so he tells her to forget about it (not tonight) and just enjoy the night, as he is (i'm on fire). He is on a date at the carnival, and his date thinks that it would be a good idea to run away with the carnival, to escape. Heres what I think: (baring in mind the rest of the album) Where we can take a seat at the bar with the other broken heroesĪnd do nothin' 'bout it (nothin' 'bout it) If we don't come through, they're gonna bury us alive
Then we laughed about it (laughed about it) I can't feel a single thing but the weight of the wires
