IMAGERY 2

BRAND NEW
THE QUIET THINGS THAT NOONE EVER KNOWS
SIGHT
We saw the western coast
I saw the hospital
Nursed the shoreline like a wound
Reports of lover's tryst
Were neither clear nor descript
We kept it safe and slow
The quiet things that no one ever knows
So keep the blood in your head
And keep your feet on the ground
If today's the day it gets tired
Today's the day we drop out
Gave up my body and bed
All for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals
I contemplate the day we wed
Your friends are boring me to death
Your veil is ruined in the rain
By then it's you I can do without
There's nothing new to talk about
And though our kids are blessed
Their parents let them shoulder all the blame
So keep the blood in your head
And keep your feet on the ground
If today's the day it gets tired
Today's the day we drop out
Gave up my body and bed
All for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals
I lie for only you
And I lie well...Hallelu...
This song is about the memories they share together as a couple
"We saw the western coast, we saw the hospital"
Although she loves him, he does not love her the same.
"The quiet things that noone ever knows"
Nobody knows that he does not love her, but he knows that sooner or later they will end in disaster. For now he is just pushing through it.
"So keep the blood in your head, and your feet on the ground"
He is thinking about the day he marry's her and how her friends will "bore him to death".
Also when they have children "though they are blessed they will shoulder all the blame"
Meaning that they will get blmaed for the parents relationship falling apart even though its not them at all.
he is staying with her to make her happy yet he is miserable.
"I lie for only you"
This is a sad song but it proves what people are willing to go through to make people they care about happy. He is lying to everyone around him ,expect himsef. He can see their future together and he knows it is not bright yet he stays.
