only song off wa phoenix that i didnt start listening until last week and the interpretations of the songs are so insane!
FIRST MEANING; it’s talking about a relationship Like “counting all the different ideas drifting away”, he’s talking about trying to think of a way to solve the problem between them. “Past and present they don’t matter”: this situation has never happened before so the past can’t help them and they’ll get over the present so “the future’s sorted out”.
But she just keeps going in circles (Watch her moving in elliptical patterns), trying to explain her thoughts, but she’s just being really confusing (What you say is way too complicated). And he’s giving her a last chance, but she’s got to make up her mind fast, but he knows she’ll just do it, like she did all summer , but that’s not what they need to get through it, and they know it.
And they watched the problem build up (the meteor tower) and think that it will just go away. It sounds like the relationship is getting complicated, and the two are trying to work out any issues, but their ideas are getting convoluted and nothing seems to work.
The chorus seems to be the singer saying, “Calm down, we don’t need this. Just lay down, that’s all we need.”
SECOND MEANING: Sample lyrics: “Girlfriend, oh your girlfriend is drifting away / past and present, 1855-1901 / watch them build up a meteor tower / think it’s not gonna stay anyway / think it’s overrated.”
A reference to: A time period in French history that included the famous Exposition Universelle of 1900 and the Art Nouveau movement. The “tower” most likely refers to the Eiffel Tower, completed as an entrance to 1889’s Exposition Universelle and loathed at the time by many Parisians.
Historical lesson: Memorable World’s Fairs demand timeless symbols. The Eiffel Tower was one of many iconic structures built for a World’s Fair, like the Crystal Palace in London, the Unisphere in New York, and the Space Needle in Seattle.
Song’s actually about: A nostalgic look at Paris at the turn of the 20th century, when Jules Verne’s sci-fi tales were regarded as the approaching future. Lead singer Thomas Mars calls the Exposition Universelle of 1900 the “most futuristic moment” for Paris, so when the fair is over, all of Paris is stuck “counting all different ideas drifting away.” In the spirit of Verne, somebody should’ve built an idea-catching machine.
PHOENIX, FUCK YEAH!
