    For does who didnt know the meaning of this song read this.
    Heap has been reluctant to say exactly what inspired this song, but most of what she's said indicates that she wrote this song about the separation of her parents when she was 12 and her father finding a new wife. "Crop circles in the carpet" means the furniture has been moved out and all that is left are crop circle imprints. "Oily marks appear on walls where pleasure moments hung before" means photos have been taken down. All signs that someone is moving out of the home. Heap has called the images "a collection of childhood memories." >>
    This is an a cappella song that Heap came up with after her computer died on her. With no computer to work on, she decided to try a piece of equipment she hadn't yet used to work on a song: a harmonizer. She used the processing device hooked up to her keyboard to come up with a melody, which happened very quickly around 2 a.m. She recorded a rough demo, which she faithfully recreated in the studio.
    In 2005, this was used in a climactic scene from the season 2 finale ("The Dearly Beloved") of The O.C. when the character Marissa shoots Trey, who is trying to kill Ryan. In 2007, the song was used in a Saturday Night Live digital short with Shia LaBeouf that parodied the scene.
    In 2009, Jason DeRulo sampled this song for his debut single "Whatcha Say." It topped the UK chart and reached #3 in the UK, earning Heap a nice little sum.

      @milkfartss 6 лет назад +214

      For some reason I thought it was about a person who was murdered and was a ghost in their old house where the murder happened...like a murder suicide where a lover killed her and then took their own life. Now she sees where the old furniture has already been moved out, etc. She's bitter when perhaps she hears someone will move in soon, even though it only just happened. (They were here first...as in her things...she...was here first) I'm probably the only person who thinks that lmao.

  • @TheChewyandnene
    @TheChewyandnene 10 лет назад +350

    This song is about the Holocaust. The bridge is about the general Holocaust. "Hide and seek." Meaning, hiding from the Nazis. "Trains and sewing machines." Meaning, the trains used to transport the people to concentration camps and the sewing machines women were often forced to work with, until they died from malnutrition, starving, or execution. "All those years they were here first." Meaning, that the Jewish religion was there before Hitler.
    The Chorus is mostly about Hitler. She uses a lot of sarcasm in it. Basically she means that she can't believe that Hitler did this and claimed that it was for the best.
    The first and third verses are about when the Jewish people first arrived at the camps and their houses had been ransacked. "The dust has only just begun to form crop circles in the carpet." Meaning, the empty houses. "Oily marks appear on walls, where pleasure moments hung before." Meaning, the items gone.

    This song is a lot prettier when you know what it's about. Imogen wrote this when her parents got divorced and her family was being torn apart.

    his showing me what this song means to him has caused me to perceive

    The lyrics in this song can be up for interpretation, because we all have different experiences. Ik the songs lyrics were originally meant to be about a kids perspective having divorced parents. But personally, this song leaves me reminiscing over old memories that made me happy before. I reminisce about being with my family, who at times it feels like they hate me. But this song always brings me back to before all the mistakes and arguments and confusion.
