Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Cheated Hearts

• 0
  My Interpretation:i think its about trying to gain intimacy from the one your main love but can only get it from an easy fuck --> (Kept my high From the second one Kept my eye
  On the first on)
  
  she wants to be happily married with zee main love but she'll flaunt the ring for a time where its gonna mean more (Now take these rings
  And stow them safe away
  I'll wear them on
  Another rainy day)
  
  it does sound like a three some, maybe she wants some fun first and commit later

  General Comment:I think that the song is about a woman trying to entice a married couple to have a threesome with her.
  
  I'm confused what the significance of being bigger than the sound, but it reminds me of sexuality.

  General Comment:What if it's about cheating, but the person aiding the cheater realizes that she is not the only that the other person is cheating with?
  
  Kept my high from the second one
  Kept my eye on the first one now

  Song Meaning:Well it's definitely about cheating, as everyone has stated.
  But the story behind that again might just be about her not being happy with who she's with (maybe because he's cheated on her or treats her badly), therefore she cheats on him and treats him badly in return.
  I may be wrong, but that's the way I see it (:

  General Comment:"Well I'm take it take it take it take it taking it off
  And she's take it take it take it take it taking it off
  And he's take it take it take it take it taking it off
  And we're take it take it take it take it taking it off"
  
  She wasn't just in a relationship with one person, it might have been a threeway realtionshp. And she felt cheated because she was being sharred and possible used. and these lyics seem like they were concieved in a fast manner, like this i how he felt right after she found out she had been cheated on.

  General Comment:AH! For ages I thought it was "Take these wings, stow them safe away". Rings makes more sense, but my my, I feel like a fool. At least now if I write a song I can use the wings bit and it'll be a totally original idea! YEAH!
