Does anyone sometimes wonder what songs VC's songs are about. Some are really obvious, but others stump me. And we all had our ideas about She Smokes ahem I mean She Floats.... but its about a dead girl! Enlighten me with your song interpretations... please.

I think its talking about the moment she is going to kill herself

Watching puddles gather rain(she is outside)
Theres no better place to lay(thats were the action is going down)
Shes as fine as dandelions blowing in the wind(she is like gonna jump )
Shes not thinkin' about anything...(she isnt thinking about the problems)
She floats(she jumps)
Floats...

Wearing black patent mary janes(she was wearing that wen she jumped)
She steps out in to the rain
She's as dry as clear blue skies
Swallowing you whole
God knows secrets though I'm told(no one knows why she did it)
She floats

ahhh... ahhh...

She's as fine as dandelions blowing in the wind
Shes not thinkin she's listening
She floats... She floats... Floats...
Floats...
She floats... She floats... Floats...
Floats...

i dont know i know its like wierd and stuff

Hmmm... Wanted is about a gay soap star hitting on her...

I think Paradise is about loneliness after breaking up, and reflecting on their moments together?

Everytime she closed her eyes she saw what could have been...
... One last chance to feel alright...
Don't pretend to hold it in, just let it out...

*shrugs*

Paradise is about having no will to live.
and paradise is perfection.. and very much unattainable.
soo I think it's about realizing you cannot reach this unattainable goal
and giving up/losing all hope.

Hmmm.
but that's just me.

Paradise

Once upon a year gone by
She saw herself give in (she's giving up on life)
Every time she closed her eyes
She saw what could have been(she regrets the past, she wanted to do something, but never did, asking herself..'what if?)
Well nothing hurts and nothing bleeds
When covers tucked in tight(she's not dying like in pain, shes like depressed and stuff)
Funny when the bottom drops
How she forgets to fight... to fight
(shes not fighting it, ..its like she wants to die)
And it's one more day in paradise
One more day in paradise
(today is her last day to live)

As darkness quickly steals the light
That shined within her eyes
(totally depressed)
She slowly swallows all her fear
And soothes her mind with lies
(she pretends things are going fine, when they just arn't)
Well all she wants and all she needs
Are reasons to survive
(shes trying to figure out why she should live...i believe she is about to comitt scuiside)
A day in which the sun will take
Her artificial light... her light
(shes going to die)

And it's one more day in paradise
One more day in paradise
It's one more day in paradise
One last chance to feel alright... alright
(she lives in a world where people around her are happy, but she has her own problems, and since this is her last day to live,cause shes gonna kill herself, shes just looking for a reason not to kill herself...one last chance to feel better...)

Don't pretend to hold it in just let it out
Don't pretend to hold it in just push it out
(dont pretend to be happy when your not, just express your true feelings)
Don't you try to hold it in just let it out and
Don't you try to hold it in you hold it in

One more day in paradise
One more day in paradise
It's one more day in paradise
One last chance to feel alright...

Once upon a year gone by
She saw herself give in
Every time she closed her eyes
She saw what could have been

--------------------------------------------
well, thats how i look at Paradise....
someone who is lost and has no hope left..they just want to die, and they cant find reasons to stay alive...
i think its mainly about dealing with scuiside as an effect from depression

prince about like a girl that is being treated badly by her bf.She says that she can dump him anytume she wants thats the "Willing and able to run".But she is like if it all went away there nothing left to do or say.She would be sad.thats what i got.He is her prince.Her everything.She is willing and able but she wount cus she loves him

bad !

badsrx7 · « **Reply #11 on:** October 18, 2003, 09:23:53 am »

Prince was sorta an assertion of her independence.
She's sorta taunting this guy
like
'What are you going to do? but whatever you doo is fine.. because I don't need you.'
but that is my opinion

I look at the song as a whole..

sooo hmm.

Dancernl · « **Reply #12 on:** October 18, 2003, 09:44:17 am »

I think Prince is more of a Take Me Or Leave Me song. I think that the narrator is saying to her Prince that she wants him and has feelings for him and wants to be with him, but this guy is either pushing her away or something likr that.

Willing and able to run
willing and able to come (she's willing to go to him and run to him if he wants her to because she wants to be with him)

and if i wait for you now
would you come would you run (she's saying that she's waiting for him to come to her because she's willing to go to him as well)
would you bring it back around
oh baby how (she wants him to come back to her and have the relationship be as it was before things got messed up)

if it all went away
nothing left to say
oh would you fight it
or would you lay down (if she decided to leave him and not come to him anymore what would he do? Would he chase after her or and get her back or would he just give up)
at the hand of your God
oh could see the light (at the hand of your God is like at the very end of everything when he has nothing else but God, would he see that she was the best thing to ever happen to him and he let her get away)
Oh my Prince can't you see what's been found? (she's giving him the final choice, can't you see that i'm here right in front of you and now you're still going to let me get away)
Willing and able to run
willing and able to come
willing and able to run i am willing, willing (she's still hanging on to some hope that he'll still want her to be with him)

i think it would be interesting to hear what people think ATM is about, especially since it's "not about distance!"

Mountaineer · « **Reply #14 on:** October 18, 2003, 02:01:00 pm »

well im going with ATM then

Makin' my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces pass
And I'm home bound(She feels like weird like nothing is important any more)

Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making a way
Through the crowd(she doesnt care about the ppl and the stuff thats going on)

And I need you
And I miss you(she doesnt care cus she needs him and misses him)
And now I wonder....

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by(hopes the time goes fast so she can see him)
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
Tonight(she just wants to see him,she would go anywhere to see him or be with him)

It's always times like these
When I think of you
And I wonder
If you ever
Think of me(she is thinking if he remembers her or still loves her)

'Cause everything's so wrong
And I don't belong
Living in your
Precious memory(she thinks she isnt good enought for him)

(same as the other chorus)
'Cause I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder....

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
Tonight

And I, I
Don't want to let you know
I, I
Drown in your memory
I, I
Don't want to let this go
I, I
Don't....(she doesnt want him to forget her)

(sames as above)
Making my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces pass
And I'm home bound

Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making a way
Through the crowd

And I still need you
And I still miss you
And now I wonder....(she still misses him no matter what)

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass us by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you...

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
If I could
Just hold you
Tonight (she wnats to be with him no matter what.Or just see him)

i just wrote that.just came to mind
