Blur - st. charles square

가사는 주인공이 과거의 실수와 외로움 속에 갇혀 있는 심정을 묘사하고 있다
그는 자신을 묶고 있는 어두운 존재로부터 벗어나는 것이 절실하며, 사랑하는 이와 함께하고 싶지만 그들이 서로 잃어버릴까 두려워한다
결국, 그는 과거의 경험과 괴로움을 떠나고자 하지만 그럴 수 없음을 느낀다

I fucked up
I’m not the first to do it
Must forgoe now, your smile
Off the wall, beige
I’m fixtures and fittings
Call me out but call me

‘Cause there is something down here
And it’s living under the floorboards
Its grabbed me round the neck
with its long and slender claws
Don’t leave me here baby
don’t leave me completely
‘Cause I might not get back to myself at all

St Charles Square
This year’s migration
Basement flat with window bars
Pauli’s outside
Spare me the gloaters and the pain
I don’t want it anymore

‘Cause there is something down here
And it’s living under the floorboards
It’s up and down the clock
of the townhall back in time
Oh I’ll ride with you baby,
I’ll ride with you forever
But we might not get back to
ourselves at all
No Tesco disco
The room is shrinking fast around me
It’s grabbed me by the ankle
And pulled me under
Loneliness I’ve been here before

‘Cause every generation
has its gilded poseurs
Weird vibrations in the basement
I don’t like this scene
Pauli’s ghost come back to haunt me
Think I’m going to …
