Metric - Raw Sugar

Raw Suger
Artist: Metric
Album: Grow Up and Blow Away

Lyrics

Sort of wonder why no one said a word
Don't you like it on the sly? Don't you like it till it hurts?
Have I been on your mind? What's a voice without a song?
Something in your head you've been fighting all along

I don't want to say it, the news is not so good
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

'Cause summer never comes, nowhere near high noon
And winter never comes, nor the harvest moon

Raw sugar (save that date)
I don't want to die living in a high-rise grave
Ill pray to call home
Save that date
High-rise grave
Raw sugar
I don't want to die living in a high-rise grave
Ill pray to call home
Save that date
High-rise grave

No I'm not complaining, yes it could be worse
Ferment on the wishbone, match the lips to the purse
Neighbourhoods a runway, fry the ass and thighs
Dirty denim dealers, pushed behind the ires

And summer never comes, nowhere near high noon
And winter never comes, nor the harvest moon

Raw sugar
I don't want to die living in a high-rise grave
Ill pray to call home
Save that date
High-rise grave
Raw sugar
I don't want to die living in a high-rise grave
Ill pray to call home
Save that date
High-rise grave

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

'Cause summer never comes (save that date)
(High-rise grave)
Winter never comes
(High-rise grave)
'Cause summer never comes (save that date)
(High-rise grave)
Winter never (summer never)
Comes (save that date)

Summer never comes, summer never comes

"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.

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.
