You're an uptown falling down
West end girl trying to see yourself
Running in a number one
Shoot 'em up
Race to edge of the world
To the edge of the world
Knocking down
Waking up
you're a breaking girl
Hearts stop and seize
Making love in the weather
Making moves together
Staying close forever
Riding in our cars
From the Moon to Mars
Everyday, every night
Becomes a thousand hours
Come and follow you
Follow down to excess
Return to righteousness
Dancing late at night
Hunting high and low
With your pretty pink bow
Weather girl, where did you go?
Girlfriend, I really need you
Don't go, don't go
Girlfriend, I really miss you
Don't go, don't go
Never making hesitation
Making everyone hold their breath
Criss-cross over miles of eyes
Ending looks shooting over
The heads are turning
Your shadow of death
You're ready for this
Weather girl, where's your forecast?
Set the signal
Raining fire from the angels
Through the eye of a needle
Making moves, making stars
Falling faster than the start
Of the end of the world
You're the breaking girl
Channel X, channel 7
Super static television
We're waiting for
The first broadcast from you
you'll never go too far
There's no stopping the show
With your pretty pink bow
Where did you go?

It's about someone who is trying to become well-known and infamous, but she ends up losing everything she had in the first place.
"You're an uptown
Falling down
West end girl
Trying to see yourself
Running in a
Number one
Shoot 'em up
Race to edge of the world (to the edge of the world)"
She's trying to see herself up there with the stars and other important people, and she's working hard.
"Come and follow you
Follow down to excess
Return to righteousness
Dancing late at night
Hunting high and low"
there's an expression popular among club kids about excess being the path to righteousness. As many of the 80's club kids learned, that really isn't true. It's a very destructive path. the thing about dancing is probably referring to becoming a stripper or a dancer, which is what most women in hollywood start out doing.
"With your pretty pink bow
Weather girl, where did you go?"
They don't know what happened to her. She isn't the same since she became immersed in the sleazy hollywood scene. They don't know what happened to the girl they loved, because she changed.
'weather girl.'
i don't think it has anything to do with a weather broadcaster on tv.
weather changes. snow, rain, sun, clouds.
people change.
this song is about a girl who has changed, or changes alot, in my opinion.
like, there's alot of symbolism used, weather girl being the main symbol.
because the girl, the 'weather girl', changes, just like the weather. of has changed, just like the weather.
she wants alot more than she can handle: an overachiever.
But at some point, I also think that she wanted help. "Girlfriend I really need you Don’t go, don't go." She asked for his help, but he couldn't do anything to help her. Possibly they used to date, she being the girlfriend, but he left her because she was doing things he thought were wrong. He misses her, but knows he couldn't be with someone he's become.
And at the end, I always get this image of him, standing alone at her funeral, staring at the freshly covered grave with the words Weather Girl engraved on her tombstone.
I think almost anyone can relate to this one in a way.
i also think that this girl represents something very familiar, the weather girl who you're so used to seeing on tv. then something happens and shes gone, and you realize
but i also think that he likes this girl (romantically) but he still admires her determination to do stuff beyond human conception
but then i also think that something bad happens to her
like maybe she builds her dreams and when she's nearly there, something happens, bringing the line
"Weather girl, where's your forecast?"
into it
about how they missed her
or how invincible she used to be but work and the general stress of life is eating her and she's not the once youthful girl and she may be fading
not sure but there yu go!
personally, i see its about a girl, so captivating whos ambitions are too great for whereever she is.
who knows. i could be wrong.
a relationship with all it's ups
and downs etc...
