Tuxedos - CWK

I got the new Cold War Kids album today. I've been having a CWK binge these past few days and this came at just the right time.

I haven't listened to it properly yet. I've heard it once over just to get it out there but I'm finally actually listening to it. I've been stuck on Tuxedos for the past hour or so. Flip, I can't do this song any justice. It paints such a vivid image in my head. It literally sits heavy in my soul and just speaks with loud words, words that carry immense gravity. From my interpretation of it, it sounds like a man that has come to realise that he was the reason of his own demise. The failure of his ventures is put down to his actions. When I listen to it, I think of a man sitting at a table, probably at a wedding, after everyone has left and only the signs of a party that has ended are all that's left. Bottle of whiskey in tow, he sits and reflects on what he's lost. The last verse sounds as if he's finally reached his breaking point. He's just like, "This is it, I've got to let it all out."

This is the first song that has captivated me completely in ages. It's brilliant...

I think about eyes that watch you.
I think about changes I've made.
I think about all this fancy food going down the drain.
I spend a lot of time by myself,
Imagining great speeches I'd make
To crowds of people; how can I help?
But what would I say?

When will I find, when will I find someone to take?
Or did I find and not realize, I was the fake.

I love to be a stranger at a wedding.
Cause tuxedos don't discriminate
A perfect disguise, so be cool and fill up your plate.

When will I find, when will I find someone to take?
Or did I find and not realize, I was the fake.
When will I find, when will I find someone to take?
For the millionth time, for the millionth time I was the fake.
I was the fake, I was to blame.

I think about eyes that watch you.
I think about changes I've made.
I think about all this fancy food
Going down the drain, down the drain, down the drain
Going down the drain, down the drain, down the drain
Going down the drain, the drain, the drain, the drain, the drain
Going down the drain
