In a way, the lyrics to this song describe Meredith's feelings for Derek on Grey's Anatomy, especially in Season 1. Meredith is the reason I stuck with Grey's and watched all 8 seasons in about 5 months. I didn't realize how great this song was until the alternative universe episode. That's why I love this song.
One of my favourite songs. As a matter of fact, it was when this song began to play in the first episode of Grey's Anatomy that I fell in love with that show and everytime I listen to this music I can't help but remember Meredith getting out of her house late for her first day as an intern. Good times.
About 30 years later, Rilo Kiley's "More Adventurous" will be considered as an underrated classic and inspirations of future rock bands, like how Television's "Marquee Moon" and The Modern Lovers' self-titled album does now.
@Brenne22 You must have never tried pro mode. I play the game with an electronic drum kit via the midi adapter, and it seems pretty damn close to me. You can play pro mode with any midi enabled instrument. So, if you have the equipment, it pretty much is the real thing.
@MAemilius I do the same thing and I completely agree! The ONLY negative aspect of this (at least with my kit) is that when they chart open hi-hat to blue, I have to hit my ride cymbal.
Also, @Brenne22, I play with the PRO Guitar too. And I'm failing, but I'm trying. You get out of the game what you put in.
"Portions for foxes" is basically like saying that we are just pieces of meat for the foxes to prey on.. we're all just ready to be scavenged for and consumed.
"Portions for foxes" is basically like saying that we are just pieces of meat for the foxes to prey on.. we're all just ready to be scavenged for and consumed.
@tianyijoanna Sing along to the song and incorporate your suggested lyric change. It sounds better on a lyric sheet, but, in my opinion, it doesn't fit with the music.
@1thunder234 I totally agree on that... most of the times sentences have lot of meanings depending on what the person that says/writes them is thinking on that precisely moment, and more than that, most of the people understand words and sentences in certain way even when speaking/writing and they try to say something that other people could understand in other way, I mean, sometimes it depends on the context...
Hi there.... I like this song pretty much... in fact I heard it on RB3...
English is not my mother tongue, however, I understand every single word on the lyric... I would say, literally. And I would like to know what does she try to say... what is the sense, what does she try to say metaphorically? I am not good at that.
Like for example what does she means when saying "portions for foxes" and generally, what the lyric speaks about.
@chekitosheik In this case fox might mean a sexy lady. The lady that is moving in on her guy. She might be saying we all end up used by aggressive and predatory people. But really, someone who didn't write a song is always just guessing what it means anyway.
@chekitosheik lyrics of song begin with her "lover" being on her mind all week. the song's about someone being in "love" with a bad-guy or bad-girl which one knows is not good for them, even when friends are advising to drop him/her because the "love" is not being reciprocated. But the trade-off is burying these feelings of the relationship not being right, as the lyrics state, "a walking corpse", so as to avoid loneliness. And so this person becomes "Portions for Foxes", ie. a piece of meat
@chekitosheik doesnt really mean anything. Just take it to mean what you will. Artists like to make dumb names for their songs, that way everyone can have their interpretation. In its literal sense, it means evened out scraps of food for carnivorous animals....but obviously that's not what it means in terms of the song.
I love this freekin" song!!! This is my song!!! I've bought this album a bunch of times because I keep bringing it to parties so people can hear it and I leave it there and buy again. Over and over;) Ya it's my song cuz I'm bad news...;) And your bad news.... I dont care I like you!!

@AfterTheShowVideos well I was going to get on here and correct myself, because my brother, who introduced me to Butch Walker, informed me I was wrong. But the fact that you came on here and disrespected me and an artist who only deserves the utmost respect, even if you don't like his work because of all the work he's done changed my mind. My mistake was an easy one to make if you think about all the songs he's written for popular artists. There's no reason for you to be so rude about it.
@WolfStar225 I don't see how I disrespected you, unless you're Butch Walker (who I've seen live, and I have one of his CDs - I actually like his music). My comment, which was short and harmless, was meant to be funny, hence the "haha," and my intention was to praise Rilo Kiley, a band whose music I like as much as I'm sure you like Butch Walker's, rather than disparage Butch Walker. No rudeness intended to you Wolf Star :)
