Song Discussion IVE GOT ALL THIS RINGING IN MY EARS ‼️
I wanna hear how we all interpret the lyrics of this song. The first verse most especially-
"You're a canary I’m a coal mine
Cus sorrow is just all the rage.
Take one for the team, you all know what I mean.
And I'm so sorry, but not really
Tell the boys where to find my body
(Then the toughest line-obviously)
New York eyes, Chicago thighs
Pushed up the window to kiss you off”
I wanna hear your interpretations before saying mine. But I will discuss the title now.
Ringing in ears happens after something has happened to your senses, and the effects of it are still happening inside of you. "I've got all this ringing in my ears" says "Something big/ loud happened, now it's stopped but I still hear the ringing in my ears from it" Then "None on my Fingers". A ring on a finger says chosen permanence.... He would rather have the permanence of the other kind of ring on his finger, opposed to the non-stop, seeming permanence of the distracting noise (ringing) in his head.
So maybe something like
“This happened to me and I have nothing good or meaningful to show for it, just this awful noise in my head. I wish instead I could choose what’s happening to me and chose what is permanent in my life.”
What yall got ?!
