The "Crop circles in the carpet" refers to the marks of where the furniture was. Meaning the person has taken all of their stuff. "Oily marks appear on walls, where pleasure moments hung before" meaning that pictures of the two of them together that once hung on the wall have been taken down. "Spin me round again and rub my eyes" meaning that she still is in shock. Can't believe what has just happened. Can't believe they are gone. And the most powerful part of the song is when she says: Mm what'cha say? Mm, that you only meant well Well of course you did Mm what'cha say? Mm that it's all for the best Of course it is Mm what'cha say? Mm that it's just what we need You decided this? Mm what'cha say? Mm what DID you say? All of that refers to this idea that, ok you did all this and you thought it was best for us...But it's NOT what is best for me. You are what's best for me. And the "You decided this?" showing that it wasn't a mutual leaving. That she hasn't moved on, that she is still quite attached. And at the end "You don't care a bit..." pretty much sums up how she interprets how the other person feels. Obviously they don't love her or care about her since they left in such a sudden and insensitive way without consulting her first. It's a BEAUTIFUL song...But quite sad. Hope that helps =) Alien Cyborgs DUH!! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/1/09 Come on guys, you're all stupid, this song is obviously about alien cyborgs from the future.. DUH!! it says "crop circles in the carpet", which meant that they practiced crop circles on their carpets, so they could finally come here and make crop circles on our planet.. And then "ransom notes keep falling out your mouth", means that all the people that got obducted were being held for ransom by the alien cyborgs from the future.. IT ALL MAKES SENSE Holocaust? | Reviewer: Bethany | 12/29/08 To the person who said this was about the holocaust (Ms/Mr "your all stupid"): Imogen herself had mentioned in an interview that she wrote this song about 9/11 and how the Bush Administration hid so many things from the general public. Knowing this, "ransom notes keep falling out your mouth mid-sweet talk" becomes all too relevant & has nothing to do with Hitler, but, rather, another leader who sweet-talked his people. HOLOCAUST DUH | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/27/08 okay your all stupid this song is about the holocaust "trains and sewing machines" obviously referring to the trains which carried the Jews to Auschwitz and the many other camps. Also "ransom notes keep falling out your mouth mid-sweet talk," which refers to Hitlers uncanny ability to use his words too brainwash people I may have missed the point completely | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/23/08 but I think this song is about life in general, just the bitter-sweetness of it. We are each only here for a finite amount of time that we usually have no control over, and we go through it not really knowing what is around the corner, only what has happened before, and it is so important, yet at the same time, completely meaningless, depending on how you look at it; basically, no one person is ever the first or the last to have felt the feelings they have felt; love, loss, grief, pain, joy - is all a part of life. Break-ups, unfairness, feeling lost: "They were here first" I think the song is about this, and also one person's own thoughts, and that they're just trying to feel what they feel and then move on, knowing that they will feel other things in time, either good or bad, or history will repeat itself... Something like that... please say if you think I'm full of poop but this is how I have come to interpret it... after ages! x No....... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/20/08 This is a pretty credible interpretation of the lyrics that I found. Just sorry I couldn't figure it out, it seems obvious now. Trains and sewing machines threw me off. She is clever! Interpretation in parenthesis where are we? What the hell is going on?... Dust has only just begun to fall, (a big fight recently happened between wife and husband and the dust is just settling and she has no idea of whats coming next) crop circles in the carpet sinking, feeling... Spin me around again and rub my eyes this can't be happening... (she just came home and the devastating realization hits so very hard; some furniture is gone (carpet crop circles), and unable to accept being left, the world is falling apart) when busy streets amess with people would stop to hold their heads heavy (if the whole world felt what she felt, this is what it might look like. Everything, everybody stops to hold their heads heavy because, nothing else matters. It looks as if all that is precious is lost and things will never be the same again...) hide and seek (the "game" of finding love, seeking and hoping to find it) trains and sewing machines (the trains of a wedding dress and the work it takes to make the dress and as well, a marriage) all those years, they were here first.. (the breakup is happening, but our marriage, our time together happened too. It was here first before the other, and it was real and it meant something.) oily marks appear on walls where pleasure moments hung before... (the place where pictures and happy memories hung before, but no longer. The absents of the pictures are as painfull as if they were still hung... The poor womans life is now a sad and lonely void) the takeover, the sweeping insensitivity of this still life. (the takeover meaning being pushed aside by the other? The harsh cold and gray of loneliness after having known love and the loss of it.) hide and seek trains and sewing machines ...Oh, won't catch me around here... (i'll not play the "game" of finding love... I will never marry again.....) (and this is why... Her past experience was so brutally painful and damaging (can't forget, can't heal??)) blood and tears.... They were here first ohm, what'd you say, mmm, that you only meant well? Well of course you did (meant well? Doesn't meaning well mean trying to fix it. We vowed to each other for better or worse.) ohm, what'd you say, mmm, that it's all for the best 'cause it is (for the best? You're just going to throw it all away?) ohm, what'd you say, mmm, that it's just what we need...You decided this? (.... You decided this? Shouldn't we talk and both decide?? Ohm, what'd you say, mmm, what did she say? (the third party... The reason all this happened) ransom notes keep falling out your mouth (love being held hostage, dangled in front with hollow words and no intention of trying to go back to what we had) mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut-outs speak no feeling, no I don't believe you you can bet you don't care a bit... (saying things, words you know I want to hear but no feeling in them ... I know you don't care anymore. I don't believe you) ransom notes keep falling out your mouth mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut-outs speak no feeling, no I don't believe you... You don't care a bit you don't care a bit you don't care a bit you don't care a bit And yes. It is "Mmm what did "she" say." I think she's the affair... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/19/08 I think hes had a wife and kids all along, the trains and sewing machines... They were here first... Only I think she didnt know about them, and hes now leaving her... Moving out of the life she thought they were building... And an error: | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/19/08 Mmmm whatcha say, Mmm that you only meant well? well of course you did Mmmm whatcha say, Mmmm that it's all for the best? Of course it is Mmmm whatcha say? Mmmm that it's just what we need you decided this whatcha say? Mmmm what did you say? The last line = What did SHE say, makes me even more sure about the wife and kids thing... I'm not sure I agree | Reviewer: THAT GUY | 12/17/08 My friend thinks its about a relationship problem between two people. I don't believe this though. I think the song is about all different parts of history, including the Great despression, the revolution, and an assasination.
