Fire Eye'd Boy
Fire-Eyed Revelation: Unraveling the Depths of Broken Social Scene's Anthem
Lyrics
Until the day you die
Refers to persistently holding a belief or opinion until one's death
You always admit
Consistently acknowledging or confessing
You were right
Admitting one's correctness in certain situations
You were wrong
Admitting one's mistakes or errors
About all of it
Referring to being right or wrong about various aspects of life/experiences
Fire-eyed boy gave them all the slip
A character, the "fire-eyed boy," evades or escapes from others
Fire-eyed boy gave them all the slip
Reiteration of the fire-eyed boy's evasion or escape
If you're gonna come you better make it quick
Advising someone to act swiftly if they intend to arrive
Fire-eyed boy gave them all the slip
Reiteration of the fire-eyed boy's evasion or escape
Until the day I die
Commitment to a belief or perspective until the speaker's death
Columbia by plane biplane
Referencing Columbia, possibly a journey, or travel by plane
Brought us back
Returning to vitality or existence
Back to life
Temporary detachment or departure from vitality or existence
Drifted off again
(Empty line, no specific meaning provided in the lyrics)
Fire-eyed boy
Reiteration of the character with fire eyes
Fire-eyed boy
-If you're gonna come, you better make it quick
Urging someone to act promptly if they plan to arrive
Fire-eyed boy gets his ass whipped
Indicates the fire-eyed boy faces consequences or gets into trouble
