We'll write a song that turns out the light

I like this song. After all, it did make its way to my so-called fav playlist (LOL). An overall catchy punk-rock song. Am liking the mesh of banging drums and guitars. Bopping teens would like it, I'm sure. Anyway, after playing the song (again and again) on my iPod, I find myself reading the lyrics. By 'reading' I mean interpreting. It's a habit I have because I think there's a story in every song.

It could be a good one. Exhibit A : Love Story by Taylor Swift. After all the "Daddy said stay away from juliet", finally did the hunky guy in the vid said "Go pick out a white dress. And make sure it's by Vera Wang".
(At least my hunky guy should add that last part)

Or it could a really be confusing one. Exhibit B : Flightless Bird, American Mouth by Iron & Wine. I have no idea what the heck the guy is singing about (Cops closed the fair, someone cutting his baby hair and watching rat poison between fence cracks?) -_-"
But it's a really good song anyway. Seriously.

So, when I finally did really "listen" to the song (as in take word for word) I find myself pressing the "PAUSE" button. Is it me or is this song actually about two drunken kids on their prom night doing it? And by "it" you should know what I mean. I know you would, Amal (LMAO!). It's like reading between the lines. Or maybe I'm over-interpreting. If there's such a thing. And maybe they weren't on their prom night, but they're still drunk anyways (the wine says it all ;p ).

[Secret Valentine - We The Kings]

Soft kiss and wine
What a pretty friend of mine
We're finally intertwined
Nervous and shy
For the moment we will come alive tonight

Secret valentine

We'll write a song
That turns out the lights
When both boy and girl
Start suddenly shaking inside
Don't waste your time
Speed up your breathing
Just close your eyes
We'll hope it's not for nothing at all

Lay down be still
Don't worry talk they will
I'll be loving you until
Morning's first light breaks tomorrow
I'll take care of you tonight

Secret valentine

Chorus

When guilt fills your head
Brush off rise up from the dead
This is the moment that we will come alive
Brace yourself for love sweet love, secret love

We'll write a song
That turns out the lights
When both boy and girl
Start suddenly shaking inside
Don't waste your time
Speed up your breathing
Just close your eyes
We'll hope it's not for nothing at all

Wonder what it is that was "not for nothing at all" (lol)...anyway, I just hope I did not publicly humiliate myself to the world wide web by posting the entry above if it turns out the song has no meaning whatsoever like I claim it did. =P
