It's no secret that Frank is fat. Always has been. But the cannonball line is not just to make fun of his body. It's also making fun of his attitude towards the band. He basically ruined his own band. He "wrecked" the ship they were sailing on, and ended their shot at obtaining real recognition and fame. Now the second part of the verse is very telling "I'll be your whatever you want. She did whatever Frank told her to do.
Kim is basically saying that she had no say in the Pixies. She was just a tool to him. The rest of the song is repeating what's already been said, but overall, my interpretation of this song is that it's about Kim's liberation from the Pixies and Frank.
There's a reason why the entire album is called Last Splash. She is basically saying that even after the Pixies are over, she will be the one who will be triumphant and come out on top.
She'll have the last word and it's the sweetest revenge she could have after having to endure her volatile relationship with Frank. This is just what I believe the song is really about. PorkChopExpress on August 03, Link. There was an error. I agree Its a great interpretation blindfrog on October 18, Though you do know that Kim's twin sister Kelley is doing the vocals in this song, right?
Actually, they both sing : laura on May 28, PorkChopExpress Nah, there could've been a million things happened to Kim that she wrote about. It's just being in the Pixies is more or less all WE know. It's probably about nothing. Wave Of Mutilation was a song about killing yourself but somehow not drowning and hanging out with mermaids.
Pixies songs don't make a whole shitload of sense, so I suppose Kim's don't have to either. Have we eliminated possible French surrealist films? General Comment this one? Kim: I've just never connected music with books.

So he has to fight his instincts and take it slow, even though he doesn't really want to. In past relationships he had to learn how to be reticent, reluctant, to get her on the same page, maybe to get her to realise that she really likes him and doesn't want to lose him. He had to learn that when he's "in love" he can't completely share his feelings immediately, because he learned that it might scare her off.
All of it is beautifully summarized in one sentence. In real life, physically, a "floating cannonball" won't fall, it will just keep on going untill it hits something. Just like stones don't fly.
But when it comes to love, everything is backwards. Stones do fly, and floating like a cannonball here means rushing things - for example immediatly laying all your cards on the table and admitting how much you like that other person - and it's a tough lesson to learn that when you do that, you will just fall down and have nothing.
General Comment to me, this song is about a new relationship. It sort of makes me think hes trying not to raise his expectations that the relationship will work out to protect himself from hurt.
General Comment Simply put, It's one of the best songs ever. Damien Rice is a magical force. Lisa, Joe and his voices speak directly to the heart. The phrase "Music, food for the soul" could have been composed with this man in mind. Everybody should enrich their lives with his music.
Eriu0 on March 06, Link. General Comment I agree. This song is simply amazing. The 1st time i heard it, I fell in love with if after just listening to the first verse. The final line just totally gets to me. This is what music is to me, meaningful lyrics : butterflykiss84 on April 11, Link. General Comment Amen joeyjoejoeshabadoo on April 18, Link.
Artists - D. Life does sometimes have surprising lessons in store for us. Sometimes we interpret signs that are not love, as love just because we choose to see only through rose tinted glasses and lie to ourselves.
I have absolutely no idea how life can teach a person to die, please let me know if you have any ideas. I will update this later if any ideas pop up. Now we come to the main theme of the song, falling or floating like a cannonball. What happens next though? It falls very hard.
