@SuperPicaresque (cont) family. However you look at it really is what defines it. How does it make you feel is what true art is all about. Arcade fire is amazing i think we can agree on that :)

@SuperPicaresque Im pretty sure the song like most on the album is about death. They went through several family deaths when they made this album. The song is most likely a highly emotional outlook on time, life, and death. He is a young person and death often brings a very real perspective on things. You lose your parents, and you start thinking about your "unborn kids". I think the song ultimately shows a young man at a crossroads with losing family, and moving forward thinking about his own

@AmandaXxXPlease In continuation, this ties into the line about his eyes being "covered by the hands of my unborn kids". Now that the narrator has grown up after Neighborhoods 1,2,3, and Une Annee, ("Time keeps creeping through the Neighborhood") he feels the pressure most adults feel, the pressure to find a wife and have kids, and he's trying; but nothing is happening, which leads into the "watched pot" line.
-
@AmandaXxXPlease To me, he's referring to how often people tell you to stop worrying about things, and just let your life happen without thinking too much, you'll eventually find what you're looking for. The line "a watched pot won't ever boil" refers to that, his worrying about his life. When he closed his eyes and "nothing changed," he means that not thinking about it didn't help: his life is exactly where he left it, and he's unable to bring back the feeling "drowned out by the radio."
