Statue
Low Millions Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The empire state buildings turning of its lights
The refrigerator stops
And suddenly it's quiet
I never noticed the ceilings were so low
I never saw all the cracks on the window
I never saw myself as sentimental
But here I go
I've been standing round you like a statue
Laying on the floor thinking about you
I talk to myself like the crazies do
Otherwise I'm great
what about you?
Ain't nothing going on here but the rent
I can't account for how my days are spent
I want to draw the line between who I am
The weatherman says blues skies but it's raining
Like the clouds all decided to cry
And every time you hurt me I say “It's
All right it's all right it's all right”
Without you I've been standing round
You're like a statue
Laying on the couch all day like cats do
Waiting for the phone to ring
But it won't ring
Without you
Low Millions's song "Statue" talks about the feeling of loneliness and emptiness that one feels after a relationship ends. The song starts with the weatherman saying goodnight, and you can see that the world is closing down and getting ready to go to sleep. The Empire State Building is turning off its lights, and suddenly it is quiet. The lack of noise makes the singer realize the things around them that they never noticed before, such as the low ceiling and the cracks on the window. They also never thought of themselves as sentimental, but now they are feeling that way because they are alone. They feel like a statue, still and lifeless, discussing their thoughts with themselves.
The singer has been standing around like a statue, and they can't stop thinking about their past relationship. They spend their time lying on the floor, thinking about their former partner, and talking to themselves like a crazy person. They know they are great otherwise, but without their partner, they can't seem to get past the feelings of loneliness. They say they want to draw a line between who they are, alluding to the fact that the relationship changed them, and without their partner, they need to redefine themselves.
Despite the weatherman saying that there are clear blue skies, it is raining - this is a metaphor for the singer's situation. Even when their partner was hurting them, they would say it was all right, but now they are alone and can't help but feel the pain. They are like a statue, waiting for something to happen, but nothing is happening. The phone won't ring, and they are stuck in this limbo.
