Young Parisians - Jump the next train => meaning lyrics?? Is this about suicide?

Can anybody tell me what the meaning is of the lyrics in the song "Jump the next train" by Young Parisians. You probably know this in the KvA remix, but here is more chillout version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYKW_yLWJYE

The lyrics are:

--
Either way it's suicide
Cars drive through in real time
You choose the stars in blue and white
I love you till I'm dead inside
Plastic eyes look milky white
And the violence makes things hard to hide
Our pale faces sink in time
Either way it's suicide

I'm gonna jump the next train
Gonna jump on a plane
Take a ticket to the other side
Jump the next train
Jump the next train

Touch till hot times smack me up
And cigarettes taste good tonight
Modern girl it's time to go
Either way I'll let you know
We wake up to a polaroid
And the blank eyes stare at something new
Little unit don't let go
All I really want is you
--

Is this about suicide (the other side) or is this about breaking up a relationship (jump the next train in the sense of moving on in life to a new relationship). Anybody can tell. These lyrics confuse me.

I think it's more a depiction of society, a society with people that the person actually loves, but now it's time for a change, time to leave all that.

If it was about suicide, it would be blatantly obvious.

I think it's about climbing aboard a train, then hiding in the toilets so you miss the train conductor and don't have to pay.

One of the most over-rated vocals ever

They are total shit, I can't understand how they are even rated, let alone over-rated

Thanks for the reply, but I don't understand what you mean. A change towards what?

I actually thought it was either about suicide or him breaking up with a girl, but still the lyrics don't seem to make much sense to me. Anybody understands them better?

It is a protest song about the Irish situation.

Jump the next train, jump on a plane, take a ticket to the other side obviously means he wants to leave the North and go to the Republic, otherwise its 'suicide', ie dangerous because of the violence.
"modern girl its time to go" - the new generation can change and resolve their differences.
"wake up to a polaroid" - wake up and see the picture that the violence isn't serving any purpose
"blank eyes stare at something new" - blank eyes, of someone who was killed in the violence


Jeez Dance123 - how insensitive do you want to be? Is what is happening in Ireland so unimportant to you that you think an obvious song about it is about suicide? Hwo to you think that makes the relatives of victims of the violence feel? Have you no compassion?



Let me guess, you think "Sunday Bloody Sunday" is about having to go back to work the next day?

What do the lyrics have to do with the Irish situation? Is this for real?

lol

This song is Ben Lost's tribute to The Pogues.


We walked him to the station in the rain
We kissed him as we put him on the train
And we sang him a song of times long gone
Though we knew that we'd be seeing him again
(Far away) sad to say I must be on my way
So buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away (far away)
I'd like to think of me returning when I can
To the greatest little boozer and to Sally MacLennane

i think it's about trying anal for the first time.

I really dont know why so many people like this, IMO the vocals are absolute gash and this should be considered eurodance and not trance.

The Solar Stone mix is pretty good though imo

They should have left the original of this alone and never added more lyrics or anything. It was perfect as "Z2 - Intracity"

(sorry this had to be done)

Not sure WTF the lyrics are going on about, but the track sure does induce suicidal thoughts in me.

It's about love. Same thing as they all are about.

Or about being on drugs.

heroin.

/thread

its about jumping on a bandwagon and becoming cheese to earn money.
or its about albino negros and how their skeletons are used for luck-amuletes

it's about hurricane katrina

and the blacks.

Pretty obvious that for Dance123 this wasn't obvious, as for many others too.
Nothing wrong with his question and I bet many don't know what Sunday Bloody Sunday is about, or even have any clue what happened in Ireland.

obviously, train could be a metaphor for 'penis', one which is long and hard; and that the protagonist in the song would want to 'jump' on it.

absolutely.

and "wake up to a polaroid" - obviously drugs were involved and pics were taken during the act.
