1957
Milo Greene Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is covered in ivy green
The windows that we watch from
Are old and chipping at the beam
It takes me away
Takes me away
Takes me away
It takes me away
Takes me away
Takes me away
The scent you wear moves in lines
From your apartment into mine
You act like you don't know me
My god, you tempt my anxious mind
And it takes me away
Takes me away
Takes me away
It takes me away
Takes me away
Takes me away
Would it be much better if I knew, nothing about you
Would it be much better if I knew, nothing about you
Would it be much better if I knew, nothing about you
Would it be much better if I knew, nothing about you
I'll go, I'll go, I'll go I
I'll go, I'll go, I'll go I
I'll go, I'll go, I'll go I
I'll go, I'll go, I'll go I
I'll go, I'll go, I'll go I
I'll go, I'll go, I'll go I
I'll go, I'll go, I'll go I
I'll go, I'll go, I'll go I
I'll go, I'll go, I'll go I
I'll go, I'll go, I'll go I
I'll go, I'll go, I'll go I
I'll go, I'll go, I'll go I
I'll go, I'll go, I'll go I
I'll go, I'll go, I'll go I
I'll go, I'll go, I'll go I
I'll go, I'll go, I'll go I
The lyrics of Milo Greene's song "1957" paint a vivid picture of a house covered in ivy green with old, chipping windows. The singer watches from their apartment as the scent of someone they are infatuated with, but who pretends not to know them, wafts in. Despite this person tempting the singer's anxious mind, they wonder if it would be better to know nothing about them at all.
The imagery in the lyrics is highly evocative, painting a picture of both the physical and emotional surroundings of the singer. The house covered in ivy green symbolizes both beauty and decay, suggesting a complex emotional landscape. The singer's desire for the person they are watching is tinged with self-doubt and uncertainty, questioning whether the fantasy of this person is better than reality.
The repeated refrain of "It takes me away" intensifies the sense of escape and fantasy that the singer is experiencing, while also highlighting the temporary nature of their desire. The song's dreamy, ethereal quality adds to this sense of fleeting fantasy.
Overall, "1957" is a poignant meditation on the nature of desire, the beauty and decay of our surroundings, and the thin line between fantasy and reality.

Your house that sits behind me
The house behind mine enticed me.
Is covered in ivy green
It's covered in lush ivy foliage.
The windows that we watch from
The windows we gaze from are ancient.
Are old and chipping at the beam
They are worn and decaying, with paint chipped off.
The scent you wear moves in lines
The aroma of your perfume wafts through the air in a pattern.
From your apartment into mine
Flowing from your dwelling to my own.
You act like you don't know me
You behave as though we have never met before.
My god, you tempt my anxious mind
You irresistibly entice my troubled thoughts.
Would it be much better if I knew, nothing about you
Would not knowing about your existence be advantageous for me?
I'll go, I'll go, I'll go I
I am determined to depart.

He's a writer. She's his lover. He's writing about the day they first met, along the way he gets lost in the recesses of his own memory. Still in a trance, he goes and jumps in the lake(it's what they did, the day they first met). The water brings him back to reality, a reality in which she's been dead for years.
@xxecksizxx
Aw man now I'm sad.
@reemia
Omg no :(
@addisonstanford717
it would make sense. perhaps the wig, and the cigarette, let us know she had cancer.
