Well I spent HOURS and HOURS reading every lyric! of every ArcadeFire's song I could find! ... the results were: there're NO song from this band that seems NORMAL...
Every lyric I read was even stranger then the last one! They seem to be a bunch of NONSENSES, ( there's a couple that talk about vampires and most of them, talk about death...or neighborhoods... in a very poetic way )
Anyway, I found one that seems to talk about death, I don´t really know, BUT I liked it because, even if the lyrics are kind of creepy, the rhythm is so*damn happy !!
Here are the lyrics and the link:
"Keep The Car Running"
Every night my dream's the same
Same old city with a different name
Men are coming to take me away
I don't know why, but I know I can't stay
There's a weight that's pressing down
Late at night you can hear the sound
Even the noise you make when you sleep
Can't swim across a river so deep
They know my name cause I told it to them
But they don't know where and they don't know
When it's coming, when it's coming
There's a fear I keep so deep
Knew its name since before I could speak
Aaaaah Aaaaah Aaaaah Aaaaah
They know my name cause I told it to them
But they don't know where and they don't know
When its coming, oh when but its coming
Keep the car running
If some night I don't come home
Please don't think I've left you alone
The same place animals go when they die
You can't climb across a mountain so high
The same city where I go when I sleep
You can't swim across a river so deep
They know my name cause I told it to them
But they don't know where
And they don't know
When it's coming, oh when is it coming?
Keep the car running
Keep the car running
Keep the car running
Every night my dream's the same
Same old city with a different name
Men are coming to take me away
I don't know why, but I know I can't stay
There's a weight that's pressing down
Late at night you can hear the sound
Even the noise you make when you sleep
Can't swim across a river so deep
They know my name cause I told it to them
But they don't know where and they don't know
When it's coming, when it's coming
There's a fear I keep so deep
Knew its name since before I could speak
Aaaaah Aaaaah Aaaaah Aaaaah
They know my name cause I told it to them
But they don't know where and they don't know
When its coming, oh when but its coming
Keep the car running
If some night I don't come home
Please don't think I've left you alone
The same place animals go when they die
You can't climb across a mountain so high
The same city where I go when I sleep
You can't swim across a river so deep
They know my name cause I told it to them
But they don't know where
And they don't know
When it's coming, oh when is it coming?
Keep the car running
Keep the car running
Keep the car running
*I actually think it's a metaphor of dead... but that's just my opinnion.
I didn't liked it at first 'cause i only read the lyrics, but then I found a video where David Grohl said that he listens to it everyday! and the Foo Fighters did a cover of it :D (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDxcjukqISs&NR=1)..then I listened to the original one...
