This song is about Emily Haine's nerves about moving to a new place-where she wrote Fantasies-and even though it sounds like a song about a post apocalypse world with zombies, it's not. It's about how it feels to live in a new place with new people and new faces. Fantasies is wonderfully basic for Metric.
"Take my pulse the pace is on a runaway train" means her heart is pounding because she's afraid. That's literal.
"If you're still alive" If you haven't died because of my absence.
"My regrets are few" then i don't regret doing this.
"If my life is mine" If this truly is MY life,
"What shouldn't I do?" Then why shouldn't i do what i want?
"I get wherever I'm going" I get wherever i want to go on my own without anyone's help.
"I get whatever I need" I get what i really need on my own.
"While my blood's still flowing" while I'm still alive--moving hasn't killed me.
"And My heart's still beating like a hammer" And my heart's still pounding because I'm nervous as hell.
I tremble
They're gonna eat me alive
If I stumble
They're gonna eat me alive
-- If I mess up, the people in this strange, new place, are going to socially eat me alive. And i'll be nothing here.
there becomes a point in life that you need to put everything on the line to see if you will be a success or a failure. This song is about that fear and drive that comes to you when you do this. It just isn't about moving but facing those fears of success or failure. Read My initial thought. You are right on. The musical changes also match the feelings you have when you are facing these challenges in life. Good evaluation.
