@beforethree he wrote this to make u smile, most the songs are written not so much about he feels, but how others in his felt about him. Its "eating humble pie" as brian describes it.
Im not gay, or into glam, but I have to say, without these guys making their music, i wouldnt be able to go on. Let it make you feel whole man, eat that humble pie...be free dude
@RageMore1709 Well... some of the lines resemble the description of a "crystal meth" party, or maybe other extimulating drug... so I believe that the image of the dildo comes from this scene. But the way he uses seems more of a person being used as dildo... when there's no sentiment, but only people using each other as sexual objects... what is very common when having sex on drugs. The whole album seems to be trying to reconcile a past of drugs and sex abuse.
@marcelcesar Hey wow, thanks! I never saw it like that. I think you got a really good point there dude. Well whatever, I think these are like the most complex lyrics of any song or any band I've ever heard.
@mrnasdfgh I think its "Tomorrow's only a kettle whistle away" like, just a whistle away, I mean... ugh I don't know how to explain it, life is short I guess?
Imagine yourself waking up after a night of sex, drugs, and partying. The feeling you get as you wake up (uselessness, emptiness, realization of what your life really is and all the wrong you're doing to yourself...) is what this song talks about, according to me.
@xMarceMarcex I agree with you about 90%, I think he hasn't woken up, he's still going on from the night before at..we'll say 6am. Most are waking up to goto work and lead "normal" lives whereas you are still awake, still drug fucked, probably have a boner to boot then the feelings of emptiness and such you speak of kick in. Not that I have any experience in such matters :P
I think he is not trying to say SOMETHING about the kettle or its whistle, it's just a way to get you in the mood of the song. I for my myself find the lyrics very melancholic but most of all, it transmits loneliness. And the whistle in the cold light of the day transmits loneliness and sadness to me.
But well, I can't be sure. This is my own interpretation.
@cincincincin abusing of cocain, and specialy methanphetamine may cause the auditive ilusion of Whistles... it's not a real hallucination, but a missinterpretation of the sounds around of the person... It's very common delusions about policy cars, and other similar sounds when crashing.
wth i thought steve the drummer sang in this song...i'd figured the voice was too low to be molko's (plus i read somewhere it was supposed to be steve but i guess not...)
arrgh-The camerman missed showing him at the very beginning of the song, that bugs the devil out me me when that happens! I loved this version. All their songs sound good acoustically!And I love the way Brian's always teasing and flirting with Stef :) really cute.
I love this song and I adore Brian's performance here. He seemed to be deeply moved by his own lyrics and musical expression. I love his way of being so authentic,so passionate. Just awesome! Thanks a lot for uploading!
i think this is one of those songs where you don't really like it the first time you listen to it, but then you listen to it again and you're completely in love with the song
OMG OMG OMG!!! The way they play is amazing!! Stefan on keys? I might have died and reached heaven. And the way they play at the end!!! So shweet!!! *grins* A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.!!!

@RageMore1709 It means something real disguised as a fake. It's usually the other way round, but he twists everything.

mrnasdfgh 2 years ago
@mrnasdfgh
The lyric actually says:
"Tomorrow's only a kettle whistle
Whistle whistle whistle whistle whistle whistle whistle whistle away
In the cold light of...day"
He's talking about the kettle's whistles, no the kettle itself.
