| The Olivia Tremor Control – Jumping Fences Lyrics | 7 years ago |
| This song is about two people, the "lazy man" and the narrator. The lazy man is a person at a party but doesn't really want to be there. But his friends are there (and the narrator) and they are encouraging him to stick it out (the jolly show must go on). But ultimately, the lazy man (or shy man, or introverted man, something like that) just gets jealous from seeing everyone else having a good time (me on you and you on summer buzz and summer heat). The closing refrain of the song talks about the attitude of the narrator and his friends, we're living day by day and you know this world makes no sense. A carefree attitude, the attitude of a joker. But it's also aimless (we're living aimlessly). One of the themes of this album I think is to find a greater purpose. We're living aimlessly, yeah that's great, but maybe we can do more than that. | |
