Manchester Orchestra - Virgin (new favorite song)


I love this song so much.  Its by Manchester Orchestra.  From the video, which is really cool, it seems to be about man destroying society, environment, our world.  But I think it has to do with a much deeper concept than physical destruction.  I think this song is abouth destroying our innocence.  Once we do that, are things ever the same?  That is not why I like the song. That is depressing, and I do not like depressing songs.  Well, you may say, she is crazy because she constantly references The Cure, and that is some of the most depressing music ever.  OK, you got me.  I do like sad songs.  They speak to me and seem more meaningful and true than happy pop songs. I really like how this song sounds though, sort of reminiscent of Pink Floyd.  Sounds a lot like MeWithoutYou, too.   

Heard don't move unless you know someone you can move
And I bruise just like anyone would bruise
And I know we've got a long way to go
I know I've got so far

We built this house with our hands, and our time, and our blood
You build this up in one day to fall downward and rust
You built this house with your hands, and your time, and your blood
We built this up in one day to fall downward and rust

I'm gone
You tried to emphasize and side with both your ghosts
In time I swore I'd take the straight and narrow path but still won't
I hold his ear I'm only trying to do my job tonight
Kiss him on top his lips and crucify the fire


Never really feel the same
never gonna be the same
no it's never gonna be the same
never gonna be the same

Trust in me the same way (with your time, your blood)
Holy or inane (To fall downward and)
