This song is extremely alluring and seductive, but plays it cool, calm and steady... For keen listeners, it does create an alternate reality, a scene to complete the music and the lyrics. Memories of own comfort-seeking behavior fills in the blanks, and builds the apartment...
A blissful but lethargic couple hibernating under blankets, finding solace in music and each other. The window allows a peek at windy and snowy NYC streets. The stereo, TV, and the couch are all they need, have and care about. Happy times... Isolation and ignorance (i.e. rosy-minded fuzz) lead to bliss, which calls for more isolation and comfort-seeking. A vicious circle of deliberate hibernation...
How did they get there?
"Be still for a second while I try and try to pin your flowers on
Can you carry my drink I have everything else
I can tie my tie all by myself"
"I’m getting tired, I’m forgetting why"
Relentless routine, life itself, slowly but eventually wore them down... And they came to accept it as it is...
"Tired and wired we ruin too easy
sleep in our clothes and wait for winter to leave"
They used to know better than to "do whatever the TV tells" them; but have lost faith in everything, and chose to keep living the easy way, on their own... Since everything they ever worked for, aspired for, loved and desired have dived off the balcony...
"Oh we’re so disarming darling, everything we did believe
is diving diving diving diving off the balcony"
So why not? A stereo, TV, a couch, and a companion to wait out the cold winter, in the cozy apartment. Sounds like a story...
