| Vampire Weekend – Harmony Hall Lyrics | 1 year ago |
| The comments here do a great job of demonstrating how the lyrics of this song are so vague that anyone can apply them to anything however they wish. I think most people can relate to admiring an organization or institution, then finding disillusionment after learning its power structure is corrupt. It could be a song about the music industry. It could be a song about organized religion. It could be a song about politicians, or activist organizations, or academic institutions. It could be about literally anything, and that's why this song has such wide appeal. | |

Why would a woman tell an emergency room doctor she would have gotten there sooner but she was detained? She wouldn't. It doesn't fit the lyrics. This is sang from the point of view of man who stayed out all night and came home the next day hungover. He probably had sex with a younger, more attractive woman too. She accused him of not loving her anymore, and he responded by saying he still loved her, only slightly less than he used to. This song isn't a woman minimizing injuries to a nurse/doctor. This is a man who has fallen out of love but won't come clean about it and instead makes outrageous claims and excuses, like saying he can't have sex with her because he crashed down on the crossbar of his men's bicycle and hurt his testicles. The lyrics are very clever when you don't shoehorn them into saying something they're not. |

@[vincent:29258] h. Not much to comment on. This is a cover of song done by Exile, and the only noticeable change to the lyrics is the original sang "4 o'clock this morning" instead of "2 o'clock this morning." I'm replying to your post thirteen-and-a-half years after you posted your message about no replies after four years. In the first verse of the song, the singer is infatuated with a woman he knows is promiscuous. In the final verse he beds her, himself, but laments that she has less appreciation for him than he does for her. I suspect women might appreciate these lyrics more than men, because it's a bit of a gender role reversal of the male "player" stereotype. |
