Open Here
Unraveling Fame's Spell: Field Music's 'Open Here' Tale
Lyrics
Open here
Invitation or instruction to open something
Take a peek before tomorrow
Encouragement to look into something before the next day
It was the best in the shop and the very first one to go
Referring to a high-quality item that was quickly sold
Once you start you never stop
Implies that once you begin something, it's hard to stop
You were once the golden boy of the golden days
Recalling a past time of success and admiration
Everybody wanted a piece of you
Describing widespread desire for a connection with the person
Turning on the city lights like magic
Suggesting an ability to captivate and influence
Everybody wanted a piece of you
Reiteration of the strong desire people had for a connection
For themselves
People's desire to claim a part of the person for themselves
Open here
Repetition of the earlier instruction or invitation
Take a rest before tomorrow
Encouragement to take a break before the next day
Too fond of the bar and the very last one to go
Reference to someone who enjoyed staying at the bar till the end
Once you start you never stop
Similar to line 4, implying difficulty in stopping once started
You were warned, to play the queen was dangerous
Warning about the dangers of assuming a powerful role
Everybody wanted to be with you
Describing widespread desire for association or proximity
Who could have been there to relieve you from the fame?
Rhetorical question about who could have helped in such a situation
When anyone who was anyone, they fell for you
Highlighting the widespread admiration and attraction towards the person
In love with you
Expressing strong feelings of admiration and affection
Open here
Reiteration of the instruction or invitation to open something
Take a peek before tomorrow
Encouragement to look into something before the next day (similar to line 2)
Too fond of the part of the very last one to go
Similar to line 14, referencing someone who stays at a party till the end
Once you start you never stop
Reiteration of the difficulty in stopping once started (similar to lines 4 and 15)
