General Comment thank you letting me know im not alone intoodeep on November 15, Link. General Comment "The mask I polished in the evening, by the morning looks like shit. General Comment And, "The love I sell you in the evening, by the morning won't exist. Let me tell you, I live in new york It's what you want it to be, how it applies to your life, through your addictions and problems because then it is easier to interpret the song if you can kind of apply it to your situation.
There's more to this song then interpreting what precise addiction the girl has. Also, self destruction is an important part of it These are the two stanzas i notice most when i listen- "When everything is lonely I can be my own best friend Get a coffee and the paper Have my own conversations With the sidewalk and the pigeons And my window reflection The mask I polish in the evening By the morning looks like shit" I certainly can't interpret this perfectly but I have some questions about it.
It sounds great, being able to be your on best friend I was thinking perhaps loosing yourself in past nostalgia and longing. Or somehow being able to be o. Being able to be happy alone, which would be great considering so many people rely on others for happiness. I remember seeing "Into the Wild" a few years ago, and hearing christopher say "I will miss you too, but you are wrong if you think that the joy of life comes principally from the joy of human relationships.
God's place is all around us, it is in everything and in anything we can experience. People just need to change the way they look at things. And I know you have a heavy heart I can feel it when we kiss And many men stronger than me Have thrown their backs out trying to lift it But me, I'm not a gamble You can count on me to split The love I sell you in the evening By the morning won't exist" This to me, is more perplexing than the previous stanza.
I had a general concept of what a heavy heart is, but I looked it up anyway, to be sure. The source isnt exactly reliable urbandictionary but it seems to be right: "Melancholy; depressed; sad. When your heart is weighted down by sorrow. Often times a death, or when you are still in love with someone from the past. Rather, perhaps someone to keep him from being lonely which further confirms he can't be ok by himself and someone to do drugs with I'm a cartoon, you're a full moon, let's stay up?
It's obvious they're both suffering from some kind of pain, that they hide from with drugs and hide from with their relationship. Her misery seems to sprout from her past love lost, and it seems uncertain where his sprouts from. He even says he doesn't know: And I'm not sure what the trouble was That started all of this The reasons all have run away But the feeling never did It's not something I would recommend But it is one way to live Because what is simple in the moonlight By the morning never is I wonder where his heartache has originated from.
I guess that's not important but rather what he is going to do about it, if anything. General Comment Does anyone else have an issue with the fact that a ton of the lyrics are wrong? Haha, alright then. How has this gotten away with so many miswritten lyrics for so long?
It WAS correct for years, but recently lyric license owners have been aggressive and this site was forced to conform to copyright code. I sent a correction to the proper place, hopefully the licensers will change it. Jenfacex3 on April 26, Link. General Comment I think this song is definitely about drug addiction - in particular coke.
I see the other eating disorder reference; however, there are many more prominent references to drugs. For example, "the mask i polish in the evening by the morning looks like shit" - putting on a facade, losing one's inhibitions under the influence of drugs or alcohol. This line - "the love i sell you in the evening by the morning won't exist" - I believe is a reference to selling drugs Artists - B.

The problem is that it simply doesn't work. It ever won't. Suddenly you get lonely and realize it lose its sense.
The mentioned mask might mean self-confidence , first you thought you can manage everything and then you must confess it went all wrong. All you've got now is the shitty fact of being all alone. And I know you have a heavy heart, I can feel it when we kiss So many men stronger than me have thrown their backs out trying to lift it But me I'm not a gamble, you can count on me to split The love I sell you in the evening by the morning won't exist This line shows how hard it can be to deal with your own feelings.
Sometimes it's hard to be the one getting more love than you can give. You get this odd feeling of powerlessness. But it's also possible that he means the opposite, he puts all his trust to her and its damaging how she doesn't. It's a rough feeling to know you can't be the one saving her from being upset. You know you aren't a perfect lover, you get doubts and realize the love you once shared will disappear soon. Sometimes you think you really love a person and than you catch yourself lying.
Things which seem perfect for a short moment hurt so much by changing into a drama. It's hard to understand how you let this chance go. I imagine a simple situation of going to bed with a person having great talks and sharing love to each other and understanding the next day it was just sex and nothing really special.
It feels easy-forgettable. You're looking skinny like a model with your eyes all painted black Just keep going to the bathroom, always say you'll be right back Well, it takes one to know one, kid, I think you've got it bad But what's so easy in the evening by the morning's such a drag A girl you love has a really rough life She forgets to eat and tries to push her problems aside by taking drugs.
Day by day she gets skinnier and unhealthier and you can't help her because you are to weak. You know you are a bad role model but somehow it works. Days pass and she never talks playing everything's right. She doesn't want you to worry about her. It's kind of self-protection. Like in the first lines of the song you both try covering hassle by alcohol and pills. Yes, it work but only till the sun rises.
I got a flask inside my pocket, we can share it on the train And if you promise to stay conscious I will try and do the same We might die from medication, but we sure killed all the pain But what was normal in the evening by the morning seems insane The bearing gets more dramatic, you just want to forget. All you think of is staying together even though it lose its sense. For avoiding the pain you even risk to die. The mentioned flask might imply different things like morphine or other dazing stuff.
The morning arrives and you survived but know you got to realize how silly you've act. Its just mad but in the dark it seemed so obvious. It illustrates how you slowly lose control. And I'm not sure what the trouble was that started all of this The reasons all have run away, but the feeling never did It's not something I would recommend, but it is one way to live Cause what is simple in the moonlight by the morning never is This part of the song is like an excuse or an explanation for living like that.
You actually do know that all you're doing is wrong but you also know pretty well that you aren't able to stop. When you're still able to stop, you don't want to, when you want to, it's already too late and you can't. The reasons why you are in this mess are already forgotten and maybe they aren't that important anymore, because you got adapted to this situation.
Whatever you feel bad for, you simply fucking do. Thats all. The last argument you mention in your declaration is pretty simple: Things are easier when you're out of control and the consequents seem equal for a short moment of fake happiness.
I absolutely agree with the post from 1st of April. To make a point here, I would like to specifically highlight the lyrics line "I got a flask inside my pocket, we can share it on the train I think the lyrics are not metaphorical at all: The flask contains possibly strong cough medicine containing Codein or similar or opium tincture, anyways some opiate, I am convinced.
It fits very well with the "kills the pain" line opiates are pain killers almost without exception , the "promise to stay conscious" line, meaning: take care not to drift off and die from respiratory paralysis, which happens when overdosing opiates and which can actually to some extent really be escaped from by staying awake and reminding oneself to consciously breathe - and finally to the "We might die from medication" line which refers to what I just pointed out.
So, no aloof philosophizing going on here, I guess, just hardcore druggie business. Hope I didn't ruin anyone's day :- Well, it's actually pretty romantic if you understand it Like almost all of Connor Oberst's songs Lua is about drugs.
The song is about things that seem normal when your high at night seem absolutely insane in the morning. He states "supplies are endless in the evening by the morning they'll be gone" meaning that at night while he is high he has no cares but the next morning everything bad comes back to him.
He also says "We might die from medication but we sure killed all the pain" which is pretty self explanatory but means that with drugs he does not feel the pains and worries of his life and it is worth the possibility of dying to feel that relief. I believe this song is about love. Pretty simple, but it's not just that. THe entire song is giving examples of how situations change between the evening and the morning.
Oberst regrets things he has done in the past, not necessarily the night before, but some time in his past. He is trying to pass the message that everyone has done things rash, stupid, or even the right thing to do. But later on in life, we regret what has been done, or if not regret, we simply wish what we have done could have been easier.
