Welcome HiveTribe,
Here we are 'At The Door' of a new dawn! It is another beautiful day in the world and I have some sounds to send you running, to soothe the soul and get you jumping.
On Hive, it truly seems like we are at the door of something great as this platform further develops and the mass adoption of crypto comes into swing we will all be reaping the rewards of our duty in contributions.
The Strokes have delivered something truly special in this expression so please give it your undivided attention!
"I don't know how you all interpret the song, but the video reinforces what I believe its about; the death of your childhood, seen through the eyes of a child, in specific- Julian.
The first two verses and choruses are about Julian's awareness that soon he will not be a boy any longer. That time of his life is drawing nearer to the end, and he's afraid. 'I'm never gonna make it out of here in time; I guess that's just fine' He looks at his parents less like caregivers and more like people.
He's beginning to understand the monstrosities of life. He is seeing the mutant rabbit transform and attack the Julian-Rabbit. He's seeing his parents fight. He imagines his science fiction heroine oppressed and condemned to death, etc etc.
He seems doomed to be nothing more than a shell of his childhood, a utilitarian mechanism that will live an empty life and one day, inevitably, die. 'I'm an ugly boy'...'lonely afterlife'...'use me like an oar' etc
But then, the second movement is about is ability to act and impose his own will in a given situation.
He doesn't just have to become a helpless adult, he can stand up to the monstrosities of life and at least confront them like his heroes in the stories from his childhood.
The heroine breaks the chains and kills her oppressors, the rabbit breaks loose of the thicket. Its Julian's life to live, not to be a shadow or a footnote in someone else's life, but to accept the death of his childhood as a liberating force in his own life yet left to live.
I connect the imagery of the science fiction story to the impetus that allows Julian to sublimate the suffering of existence into something beautiful and meaningful to him. His embrace of the death character is this acceptance and the eclipse/black hole imagery is the idea of entering the singularity of the future.
Julian's still a boy, he hasn't done anything but mature, but the shadow of his future is there in the coda 'i'll be waiting from the other side'"- David Blake Olsen(YT Comment)
Lyrics
I can't escape it
I'm never gonna make it out of this in time
I guess that's just fine
I'm not there quite yet
My thoughts, such a mess
Like a little boy
What you runnin' for?
[Pre-Chorus]
Run at the door
Anyone home?
Have I lost it all?
[Chorus]
Struck me like a chord
I'm an ugly boy
Holdin' out the night
Lonely after light
You begged me not to go
Sinkin' like a stone
Use me like an oar
And get yourself to shore
[Verse 2]
A bang at the door
Anyone home?
That's just what they do
Right in front of you
Like a cannonball
Slammin' through your wall
In their face, I saw
What they're fightin' for
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't escape it
I'm never gonna make it 'til the end, I guess
[Chorus]
Struck me like a chord
I'm an ugly boy
Holdin' out the night
Lonely after light
Bangin' on the door
I don't wanna know
Sinkin' like a stone
So use me like an oar
[Bridge]
Hard to fight what I can't see
Not tryna build no dynasty
I can't see beyond this wall
But we lost this game
So many times before
[Non-Lyrical Bridge]
[Outro]
Lying on the cold floor
I'll be waiting, yeah
I'll be waiting from the other side
Waiting for the tide to rise
Lying on the cold floor
I'll be waiting, yeah
I'll be waiting from the other side
Waiting for the tide to rise
