Metric - Raw Sugar

[IHeartPieful]

"Still I wear the red dress, paint my toes and twirl

Take it back to old times when I was still a girl

'Cause now I'm all baboon boys, coochie-coochie-coo

Sort of wondered why, I missed a kiss for you" reminds me of Katniss from The Hunger Games! You know, how she still acts the part even though she knows she's just gonna die.

[IHeartPieful]

I'm pretty sure it's "Raw sugar, I don't wanna die living in a high rise grave. 'my baby come home'.." Not I'll pray to come home. I might be wrong, though. -shrugs-

[Flameamaryllis]

summer never comes and winter never comes, nor the harvest moon means she feels disconnected from the seasons. probably because people live their lives inside their "high rise" buildings with air conditioners and heaters where the climate is always the same.

[Flameamaryllis]

I think this song is about how sterile the urban life is but the artist doesn't see any other way of living. "We'll never get away and even if we could We'd just play the tambourine around an open flame Oversleep and burn to be back in the game" means if we went all 'kumbabya' we would just get bored and want to go back to playing the rat race . "Still i wear the red dress, paint my toes and twirl" means she continues be a consumerist because it's supposed to keep her happy in the game.

Thumbs up if you actually went out and BOUGHT the album, despite it being free online (and not just because you didn't know). Retain my faith in humanity and tell me I'm not alone. :D
