I'm just putting this out there so if anyone who gets where I'm going could lay it out for everyone a bit better.
Deaf chords, dead ends
[chords are some that are to be harmonious, but deaf implies that the notes are indifferent to each other... loud. Like an argument/dispute that doesn't add up or make sense. The dispute goes nowhere; dead ends.]
Sling set can't meet their demands
[their weapons(in this case, words) aren't as damaging as they'd like]
Dumb whores, best friends
[frenemies? Yes, yes, Sleigh Bells is very high school. We know.]
Infinity guitars, go 'head
[guitars make the chords, so I guess they are the people who are dueling... fighting. go 'head=have at it.]
(physically aggressive vs. internal battles)
Street wars, straight men
[violence on the streets, gangs. "straight" men? I was thinking of homophobia? Like guys who have to make it clear that
they are straight... more typical high school behavior.]
Cowboys, Indians
[out for blood(cowboys-glorified icons) vs. the attacked(Indians-the less politically correct term for Native Americans)]
Red souls, red friends
[red=aggressive, violent, blood-thirsty souls, red=derogatorily used to refer the color of a native american's skin. prejudice hit about appearance... "friends" is sort of contradictory to the slur... goes back to a frenemy/backstabbing mindset.]
Infinity guitars, go 'head
As you can see my line for line interpretation kind of goes somewhere, but I can't seem to tie it all together. Obviously conflict is involved and drawing parallels with other themes.... Implicit. Explicit.
