Alexis Vs. Moneen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We'll frame these words. Oh dear I just need some time.
You've earned the right.
You've earned the right to know
Why I need this time away.
And you need to feel right.
Raise a toast to everything we once had.
I'm still afraid to be alone.
You found me out.
I need this time to breathe.
Give me space, I'll give you me.
In time we'll sort this out.
I'll keep this secret safe with me.
I know you've earned the right.
Kill yourself, surprise your friends.
Raise a toast to everything we once had.
The lyrics of Alexis Vs. Moneen's Song in 2-3 revolve around a relationship that is going through difficult times. The chanted lyrics "We'll sew these eyes. You'll peel them back. We'll frame these words. Oh dear I just need some time" expresses the need for space and time to reflect on the relationship. The singer is trying to convey the message that they are not in the right frame of mind, and they need to sort out their issues before they can pursue the relationship any further.
The following lines "You've earned the right. You've earned the right to know
Why I need this time away. And you need to feel right" convey the singer's acknowledgment that their partner has invested enough time and emotions into the relationship and, therefore, has the right to know what's going on. This also shows that the singer does not want their partner to feel insecure and needs them to be comfortable with the situation.
The chorus of the song is particularly catchy and goes as "Fool yourself, surprise your friends. Raise a toast to everything we once had. I'm still afraid to be alone." The singer is trying to show that they are still attached to the relationship and are not ready to let go of the memories. The line "I'm still afraid to be alone" reflects the singer's fear of moving on from a relationship they have invested so much time and effort into making.

Not only the video is amazing in the way it's recorded and prepared, but also the idea of mixing two different bands to perform songs from the other in their own style is just BRILLIANT.
I don't understand how this idea is not being used more often, imagine the possibilities of different bands working together and covering the best hits of other bands. A key of success.

Check out some of the BYO split series albums. Especially nofx/rancid or anti-flag/bouncing souls. This video is something special though for sure
