New Alhambra
Elvis Depressedly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've turned every corner
I still need you on my mind
When i'm feeling useless, barely getting by
Break these wild horses
I have drifted through my life
I've turned every corner
I just want you on my mind
When i'm feeling useless, barely getting by
Break these wild horses
I have wasted my whole life
Cavities caving to numbness, i am never going to die
"God is all around us all it takes is a thought... wormwood falls from heaven... consuming sinner and satan alike... who will be..."
The repeated phrase "forever! forever! forever!..." in Elvis Depressedly's song New Alhambra can be interpreted in different ways. The use of repetition emphasises the importance of the word 'forever', which seems to evoke feelings of longing for something that will remain constant and unchanging. The repeated use of the word could express a desire for a life-long commitment, everlasting love, or the hope for eternal happiness. It can be argued that this phrase is powerful because it represents the human yearning for permanence in a world where everything is transient.
In the rest of the lyrics, the singer expresses his desire for connection with a loved one. He talks about how his life has been full of wandering and aimless drifting, but he still needs this person in his life. He talks about the numbing effect of his life's experiences and how much he longs to break free from it. The sense of despair is palpable as the singer feels he has wasted most of his life so far. The repeated phrase "break these wild horses" represents his strong desire to overcome the difficulties in his life and unite with his loved one, represented by the lines "I just want you on my mind, When I'm feeling useless, barely getting by".
It is crucial to note the last few lines that deviate from the main theme of the song. The lines "God is all around us all it takes is a thought... wormwood falls from heaven... consuming sinner and satan alike... who will be..." present a stark contrast to the rest of the lyrics. The cryptic nature of these lines leaves room for interpretation, but they seem to talk about judgement and the potentiality for everyone to fall from grace. The mention of wormwood, a plant used in the bible as a metaphor for calamity and punishment, further emphasises the sense of judgement in the lyrics.
