I Heard
Eerie Science and Inner Turmoil: Decoding Young Fathers' 'I Heard'
Lyrics
Science is eerie when you're still around
Expressing discomfort with the presence of science when someone is still present.
Killing your body cos they found you out
Suggesting harm to one's body due to exposure or revelation of certain information.
Calling the shots and I'm falling down
Being influenced by external forces, possibly losing control and descending into chaos.
Look at the dust explode on the ground
Observing a chaotic or explosive aftermath, possibly a metaphor for the consequences of actions.
I'm there, I'm there, I'm there, I'm there
Repetition of the phrase "I'm there" possibly emphasizing presence or involvement in a situation.
I'm there, I'm there, under, I'm THERE
-I'm there, I'm there, under, I've heard
-I've heard, I've head
-I've heard, I've head
-Inside I'm feeling dirty
Internal feelings of dirtiness, attributed to emotional pain or distress.
Inside I'm feeling dirty
-Inside I'm feeling dirty
-It's only cos I'm hurting
-Telephone the father sat on the armchair with a pint and a smoke
Depicting a scene with a father, mentioning back-handed compliments, neglect, and the need for cleanliness.
Sure, no more back-handed compliments but the dishes are still in the sink
-Walk towards the door and there's an empty dresser, time to bring out the duster
-Left with a bone and a smile to last you a while
-Rest a shore captain from your see of travails
-Inside I'm feeling dirty
Reiteration of internal feelings of dirtiness, linked to emotional pain.
Inside I'm feeling dirty
-Inside I'm feeling dirty
-It's only cos I'm hurting
-Science is eerie when you're still around
Repeating the unsettling impact of science in the presence of someone and the consequences of exposure.
Killing your body cos they found you out
-Calling the shots and I'm falling down
-Look at the dust explode on the ground
-I'm there, I'm there, I'm there, I'm there
Repetition of the phrase "I'm there," possibly emphasizing a continued presence or involvement.
I'm there, I'm there, under, I'm THERE
-I'm there, I'm there, under, I've heard
-I've heard, I've head
-I've heard, I've head
-Inside I'm feeling dirty
Reiteration of internal feelings of dirtiness, again associated with emotional pain.
Inside I'm feeling dirty
-Inside I'm feeling dirty
-It's only cos I'm hurting
