Goodbye Emily Lang
St. Thomas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Especially from what I've heard
Now the whole city is talking around
They're calling her her bird
Common knowledge is thrown into my head
Will never see what I have learned
Got a dollar and some ticket plans
Can never find a word
Emily Lang has got me so far
It can't get it any worse
Emily Lang is in my head
And I am in her purse
In this town there are children everywhere
No parents in order to kill
In a suitcase there is one Emily
She's got married and bills
Emily Lang has got me so far
It can't get it any worse
Emily Lang is in my head
And I am in her purse
Emily Lang has got me so far
It can't get it any worse
Emily Lang is in my head
And I am in her purse
The lyrics to St. Thomas's song Goodbye Emily Lang provide an intriguing narrative, which could be interpreted in a number of different ways. It appears that the singer is overhearing gossip from people in the city, who are discussing a woman named Emily Lang. Some kind of scandal or rumor is spreading, and people are calling her names, such as "her bird". The singer seems to have also learned something about Emily Lang, but the meaning is unclear - perhaps the information is contradictory or confusing.
The chorus of the song contains the repeated lines "Emily Lang has got me so far, it can't get any worse. Emily Lang is in my head, and I am in her purse." These lyrics suggest that the singer is somehow caught up in Emily Lang's story - perhaps they are obsessed with her, or they feel like they are in her control. The line "I am in her purse" could mean that the singer feels like they are being manipulated or controlled by her, or it could mean that they are physically in her possession.
