This whole song hits me in the feels, but the line "I'm really not supposed to, but yes you can call me anything you want." really makes me cry because he finally found someone who was willing to help him through his pain.
I always thought of this song as someone who likes a girl, but can't get over a girl that he loved before that he couldn't be with. And the second girl loves the guy so much that she accepts that he is settling for her.
AM lyrics have always been amazing. The band has changed so much over years but they are so incredible when it comes to words! Alex has this great ability to sing 6 words when you think only 4 would fit. Their songs are like poems. And this is my favourite one.
@@sofiaelizabeth1841 I'm really sorry for your loss but you mentioning your mother in a song with culminates in the protagonist shagging his ex's sister is awkward. Sorry I was not trying to be a douche 😬
@@akshaysodhi_1044 i see your point but is not about the whole lyric! You listen a song and identify yourself in some lines or probably the whole lyric even if is not the same situation Sometimes people needs common sense. Music is all about interpretation and take what it fits you, the rest you let them go
@@sofiaelizabeth1841 You got me there about the specific lyric part, but in the overall situation it really didn't fit for me. But hey it's all about how you want to enjoy music.
Does no one get that the girl he's singing about is dead "close enough to be your GHOST" "where's your hiding place," like her ashes ,or her body, is somewhere but he doesn't know where " I'm worried I'll forget your face," cause he's never gonna see her again " I thought she might understand," the sister is probably feeling the same emotions 'cause she's going through the same loss " I'm really not supposed to," the sister feels like she's slightly betraying her but doesn't really care
Honestly idk that might be a little over though. I understand the basic thought process behind it, but I feel like Alex’s writing, especially on humbug, was less literal than that
@@yaellara306 The meaning,is the important one,awesome,there are many songs.Overall,i listen the song,and that's it.No appreciation for the meaning of them.
"I smelt your scent on the seat belt and kept my shortcuts to myself" "can I call you her name" "Tell me where's your hiding place, I'm worried I'll forget your face."
Just realized he's going down on her, or touching down there, while he asks one of them if he can call her "her" name. Never looked for any of their lyrics before, trusting i heard correctly. 😄 Will look more often. Brilliant. Was watching an NFL game, the announcer said the word cornerstone, and i just had to listen to this.
it is so fun to go through this comment session watching a bunch of teenagers finding such poetry and deep hiding meanings to a song about hooking up with your exs sister
Poetry can be about anything....these are genuinely v creative and good lyrics, even if you read like Keats or Milton or Dante you can still acknowledge good song lyrics.
ahmad zakaria Alex (the singer) misses his ex gf so much that he "sees" her everywhere because he misses her so much. He hasn't seen her for a long time and wants to see her again hence he asks girls that remind him of her if he can call them her name. He ends up seeing her sister and asks her the same question and she agrees so he ends up with her

i guess "sister" part defines that the last girl (who alex went to) is a prostitute and she looks pretty much just like her. so actually she is not her sister. and "middle man" is a kinda expression of pimp.
I think that his girlfriend died, so every girl that he sees reminds her. That is why in the beginnin it says "close enough to be your GHOST". And Cornerstone is a place where te people with issues go (idk) and the sister of his girlfriend is there because she got issues about that too, and they understand each other.
Okay so..a lot of interpretations but here is mine he is actually searching not for a particular girl but for LOVE he describes his attempts to find her and he is worrying that maybe he wont ".. I'll forget your face" when he asks "can I call you her name" he actually asks "can I call you Love" untill he finally finds her grieving in the cornerstone for the same reason as him
Cornerstone is the name of a group kind of like AA but for people in grief for their lost, sooo he's definitely talking about his dead gf cuz well he saw her sister in the cornerstone. It's more deep than it seems but I like your interpretation too
No sevina, he isnt. His girlfriend died. When he came up to her sister, with the context that her sister (his girlfriend) died, the line "I thought she might understand" makes a lot more sense. When he asks for her hiding place, hes asking where are her ashes or burried body, thats why hes also scared he'll forget her face, because there isnt a physical representation of her anymore.
I'm as an EFL still confused bout the lyrics. Especially the part "elongated my lift home", "I let 'him' go", and "keep my shortcut to myself". Can someone tell me what are the meaning of those lyrics?
I always thought Alex's hopeless love song were all about his first long term ever gf, johanna bennett... I feel bad for him. Now he's like a God. He can get whoever he wants, but he cant go back with that girl, bcs shes married.... The only one can compares Alex is Alexa... Why dont they just got back together already
Not really sure..for me, i feel like this song is about a guy seeing the sister of his dead lover and didn't realize that he was in love with the sister even before his lover. And then he's trying to move on from his dead lover by trying to date the sister but the sister is guilty.

Strawberry Crazycake aww i know btw why do i see your comments everywhere I’m screaming
and the fact that it was the girl he was looking for sister
Its not that deep, he just shagged his ex's sister
It makes me cry for the girl who wasn't loved for who she was

+catharina nerissa no asked.
i'd ask: is there anyone who doesn't love that part?
me too 😂❤
Kevin Rodriguez I love every part.
I love that you can interpret this song as a simple breakup song, or a song about a dead lover.
I always thought of this song as someone who likes a girl, but can't get over a girl that he loved before that he couldn't be with. And the second girl loves the guy so much that she accepts that he is settling for her.
Close enough to be your ghost means the girl he seen was that much of a lookalike it could be her ghost
I think she is imaginary. In my experience the breakups with imaginary girls are tougher than with dead 👭
I thought it was about revenge

Mafer Hernandez AM also means Arctic Monkeys
I couldn't agree more
@@skylover7878 LOL
this is such an amazing song idk if i should cry or smile
Both please
I feel like I can hear the lyrics maturing and growing up as the years go by with this band, it's a fascinating thing to observe.
Only a true poet fits the word “elongated” into a song’s chorus ❤
This song reminds me my mother. I miss her so much and I see her in many people. I’m just crying
well this is awkward...

Does no one get that the girl he's singing about is dead
"close enough to be your GHOST"

no
im absolutely in love with alex turner
Aren't we all :(
He’s drug addicted.....
I ll get in to that queue as well
He's not?
This music is so poetic and aesthetic
in my humble opinion, this this their best song
I literally can feel the words on my skin
Just watched them live yesterday. This song hit differently. So here I am trying to live that experience in my head again.
The lyrics are so specific, when i listen to this song i always listen to the lyrics carefully and they have such a beautiful meaning🌻
Beautiful meaning? Lol the song is about a guy missing his ex, so he shags her sister lol

I can't remember a song that has made me cry before. This one did.
If you like this song you have spectacular taste
"I smelt your scent on the seat belt and kept my shortcuts to myself"
"can I call you her name"
"Tell me where's your hiding place, I'm worried I'll forget your face."
Greatest band ever...
I always thought he said “I elongated my left toe”
HAHAHAH
or 'elongated my left 'hook!' (punching) but its the Rusty Hook bar he references earlier.. definitely excellent poetry
Jajajaja xD muy gracioso
Natalie x ME TOO AHAHHAHHAHAHAHAH
My ex and I used to listen to this together and I miss him so damn much.
Im in love with this band
Jesus this is a masterpiece
I didn’t think about how sad this song is until now
