I suppose it's about surrender. Like people have mentioned before this song appeals on a personal and political level. Conor's from the midwest and for a californian like me that sucks. No oceans to remind you of different ways to approach conflict. At the end of a relationship you're not quite sure which direction to go. Do you walk together or away from eachother? Do you leave amicably or go to war? The U.S. isn't adored much these days, but we keep making enemies because we're not willing to let go. People younger than us are dying in countries they read about when they were in school playing "guns in the street." And it seems there's alot of conflict with Conor because maybe he grew up just as patriotic as me, but then soon learned that patriotism isn't always a virtue. Maybe he feels it behooves him to sing about these things when all he wants to do is sing about love and happiness. But the devils of fame keep him singing. So he surrenders to that fact and keeps writing these great songs. Like LongforBlueSkies said, there's too much to talk about in the small amount of space that a message board offers. Does anyone know what that liquid cure is? My friend thinks its about drugs. Lame. |
