9 crimes

morning world (:
i've been sleeping in for the past two days and it feels great getting up early(: but the weather sure is tempting to snug in a little longer (:

i couldnt resist the curioursity anymore so i just had to come online to check out the meaning of nine crimes and here it is! this simply enhances the beauty of the song:

both individuals are referring to the other person as their "gun"

They know that the potential for love is there and "loaded" in the gun, but it means nothing if it's not being expressed.

"If you don't shoot it, how am I supposed to hold it?"
They question how they are supposed to hold onto each other, when neither of them express their emotions and love.

"if that's alright" to let each other go, a sarcastic and bitter realization that it's over.
They've realized that the love between them was never enough. Asking if it's alright to let the other person go is sarcastic in that it shouldn�t matter if it's alright with the other person.

"small crimes: are exactly what they say they are 'small'.
the relationship never amounted to its full potential, they cannot use the excuse that they are in pain from the relationship ending. Perhaps pain is there, but it's not from love being lost it's from wasting time on each other and waiting for something to amount from nothing.

"it's the wrong time and place to be cheating on you"
He found someone else to pull him through whatever he's going through and he should feel guilty about it, but how can you feel guilty when a strong relationship was never there to begin with?



boy there're tonnes of interpretations to this song and i dont actualy have time to sieve out the best but listen to it and develop your own meaning to the song. well there's never a universal 'right' interpretation to it. that's the beauty of art. andy's choreo to it was awesome though it'd have gone much better with better lightings and blasting music together with a larger stage for them to exploit their full potential.


okay i just cant get the song outta my head! (:
Leave me out with the waste
This is not what I do

It's the wrong kind of place
To be thinking of you

It's the wrong time
For somebody new

It's a small crime
And I've got no exuse

Is that alright? Yeah
To give my gun away when it's loaded

Is that alright? Yeah
If you don't shoot it how am I supposed to hold it

Is that alright? Yeah
To give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright
Is that alright with you?
