I want to run around without my clothes up and down hall ways while listening to this song, and a picutre of tokyo police club taped to my ass. is this odd?
attempt at escape but failed & is now telling themselves/others "it's good to be back". The addressed person has resigned themselves to the situation and falls into the narrator's apathetic ways. The narrator says "so tell me
you're coming with us" noting this but seems regretful about the person's failure to maintain their optimistic (if naiive) viewpoint. This is the gold star turning black. Also, the title of Frankenstein may refer to the narrator's viewpoint that he's created a monster.
I've been wondering the song meaning for a while now too. From what I gather it's from the viewpoint of someone who acts arrogant and apathetic but cares for who they are addressing. The lines "it's a goldmine" and "I have found a way to celebrate" seem like the narrator is wont to make fun of a bad situation rather than muster up any resistance to it, the typical cynical smartass move. This is the reason for the repetition "that's my only crime". The person addressed seems to have made an...
@sparkles510 dude... shut the fuck up and just apreciate the song instead of analysing it! from the way you talk and your spelling i can tell that you have to have a reason for everything and that you dont beleive in god, but you dont disbeleive in god, you probably have a set routine which you live your life by and when changes are made you feel uncomfortable with them. but then again thats just my opinion and were not always right... (aimed at your comments by the way)
@PirateSteve95 hey man sparkles is just trying to find meaning in the song, there's nothing wrong with that. I wouldnt say that i completely agree with his analysis but it is still a plausible interpretation of the lyrics. TPC's lyrics tend to be a bit abstract and in order to figure out what they mean it requires a bit of an analysis. If you don't like sparkles' explanation then instead of pulling insults out of your ass maybe you should explain what meaning you get out of the lyrics
The way that i encountered Tokyo Police club was very interesting. 2 years ago i was on the number 8 bus in london and a women was listening to Your English is Good and the bus was so quiet that i could hear very beat the claps clearly. So i went directly up to her and asked her "What are you listening to" and she said "Tokyo Police Club". That was the most priceless thing ive done.
This song is the only song that I can listen no matter what mood I'm in, because it just makes everything either good or better. Damn I love TPC, always have!!!
@ipwnuisication theres nothing better than that feeling of listening to a brand new band and album that youve never heard. and the feeling is even better when its as good as this
TPC is one of my favorite bands, and i was not expecting for this album to be this great... they have outdone themselves once again.... this is my favorite song from Champ, fuking amazing!!!!
