love this song so much, i love what the guitars do when it goes "i've been counting on the wrong things..." i love biffy clyro in general, they put such thought to each of their lyrics, they're so good, i like their older stuff too (:
The term 'born on a horse' is used to describe a baby born with a heroine addiction because the mother used heroine frequently whilst pregnant. The line "I've never had a lover who's my sister or my brother..." is a possible reference to an 11 year old heroine addict from scotland who had her brother' baby.
2. I am aware that you, myself and Simon a probably spell and pronounce Aluminium the British way, (since we're all British) in which there is, indeed, an I next to the U and M, As Mr. Neil pointed out in the song.
3. So therefore not only was I agreeing with him, but I even referenced his lyric in my comment.
4. my comment involving America was expressing disdain for America's way of spelling/pronouncing it: "ALUMINUM".
This song is fuckin awesome, i wake up and listen 2 this and im ready for the day. Seen these guys live at T in the Park this year and they blew every1 away.
If you never saw a concert of them you're missing big time.
By the way i think this song is not related with to incest.
"Born on a horse", horse (cavalo, in portuguese) in my country is the street name to heroin and Aluminium is part of the preparing kit, a spoon for example. And "i've benn counting on the wrong things to make me feel alright" , wonder what can it be, but i'm probably wrong anyway.
all this talk about what it means.....maybe it doesn't mean anything at all? Forgive my semi-blasphemous statement. This is one of my favorites off of Only Revolutions, good album, still prefer Blackened Sky.
im more of a who`s got a match fan this a little dull for me but suppose people who do heroin and indulge in incest will enjoy it,overall 3/5 bubbles prob best track this album poor relation to the first i.m.o
Speaking as a Scot, I've always felt that being low-key and understated is a big part of being Scottish. We're so proud of our limitations that we actually quite like them. But I constantly find that within those limits the best things in the world happen. Think of it as a small, strong, shot, rather than a long, weak, draught. This song, and Biffy Clyro as a whole is a particularly potent example.
@Rambaldi91 its kind of weird that these guys have been around for 10 years but no one ever says "i miss the old biffy" which is really good XD MON THE BIFFY
@darrenburns123 haha thanks, it does make sense since he sings "I've been counting on the wrong things to make life feel alright / you could be my acid queen until the end of time"
"I’ve never had lover whose brother or my sister before" means there friendship is so close it’s like having a brother or sister. That’s my interpretation
It kind of annoies me how when we Sciots do poorly, were scottish, but something good comes from us, and its british. I mean wtf? Anyhoo, Biffy FTW! (My mum met Simon Neil. Jealous much?)
@IamWearingJeans there are lots of allusions to heroin in the song (see my previous comment). its probably just about a person with potential falling into a pit of dependency, and he's trying to snap them out of it ("you could have it all, you're stuck in the middle") but he has his own difficulties to worry about. anyway, stellar tune
honestly i was bursting with love for them before this album came out and now im like a very large bubble. one more song and i may pop! am not complaining though i will be a very happy puddle haha
This band is awesome, but I think there are a lot of great American bands too. The first one that comes to mind, as far as originality goes, are the Whites Stripes
i know im gonna a lot of stick for this but what a stupid comment, (im readying myself for the scottish abuse btw)
Great song great band but i cant think of another scottish band i like, and why is it that scotts always put"proud to be scottish" u do it for anything thats scottish eg andy murray, , nobody else does that, not the english, welsh or irish, i just dont understand
hmmm, I'm an aussie living in scotland, and I know a few scots that don't, a few that even take the mickey out of scots obsessed with their heritage. But I agree that there are some scots that are so patrioti
This is my fav biffy song
