My interpretation is he's wondering if the right woman for him really exists in the world, possibly being reflective like him from loneliness.
And if she does exist, they need to get together and "make a mess," considering how he feels if he met someone of the same character it'd be a "mess. He relates how happy he'd be with "I'll call out your name up into the air, not one of the others could ever compare. Also with the fate lines, he doesn't care about fate, even if what they'd have is better, just that he wants her to stay with him.
Or the staying line could mean his thoughts of that woman. The attic reference pertains to the mind, meaning his thoughts of her bring light to a dark or dreary mind. I know all the fans are thinking "what the fuck? I think it means how alive the thoughts make him feel are proof that this person who may or may not exist is the prize.
The ships reference is really interesting. He mentions a thousand ships as if he's been watching the harbor, seeing as he lives in a "city by the sea," for a long time, or feeling really sad for a really long time. He watches the world go by while feeling empty inside. The cloud hanging over him is loneliness, a thousand ships sail him back from distress, again meaning a long time. The wounded satellite lyric means he's receptive but fearful, weary of those trying to reach him, only she could fix him and make him right.
That cloud that hangs over hinders his happiness of these thoughts in the second verse, and the ships bring him back from that pain because the ships are lively in a harbor, always coming and going. If there's a fire, a light, a liveliness that this woman brings to him in thoughts, whether she is or isn't real, then that's all he needs. He doesn't care about the in betweens, if all he has are his thoughts then that's what he'll take I think "Anna-Molly" is another way of saying "Anomaly.
That would most definitely work seeing as anomaly means something not easily classified, and the satellite bit would tie in because it also has something to do with planetary distance as seen from the sun.
IncubusRulesAll on September 24, Link. There was an error. Heyy I pretty much agree with everything you're saying, but I always see this weird connection between, Anna Molly, and Edgar Allen Poe's poem, Annabelle Lee, I feel like a lot of the wording in both of the poem and the song have symbolic meanings..
I thought the same thing about the play on words with "Anna-Molly" and "anomaly". He added: "Lyrically it's a lament about the perfect woman in my mind's eye being anomalous - she probably doesn't exist - and trying to transcend that strange emotion that a lot of people go through - women have about men and men have about women - whatever - that they have this idea in their mind about their perfect mate when what they should be doing is trying to experience a human being for what they are and not what they think they should be..
General Comment The "wounded satellite" lyric is briliant, very clever. It also sums up the entire song. Zythe on October 04, Link. No Replies Log in to reply. My Interpretation sorry if my interpretation is a wee bit different but here goes. I couldn't care less, just stay with me for a while" It certainly makes sense to me. Thanks for this. Way26 on July 09, General Comment Its totally about how he is searching for the one girl that is perfect for him. There is a play on the word anomaly, which means inconsistency or deviation from the norm.
He has been with lots of girls that have not worked out for him. He is searching for the anomaly, or the one that sticks out from the rest. General Comment I'm not sure if this is right, but it seems like there might be a connection to me.
In the song they sing Anna Molly pretty strangly. I think they are trying to make it sound like "Annabel Lee" as in the poem by E. Theres also a couple of lyrical connections like "This city by the sea" In the poem by poe, the second line is "In a kingdom by the sea" What are your thoughts on this? Great observation laxboy!! General Comment I saw these guys live at Cricket Ampitheatre in Chula Vista, California last summer, and ya know how some bands sound great recorded but when u hear 'em live they're all pitchy and not that good?
TheEnigma on October 21, Link. This song is exactly what i want to hear from incubus I'm too excited for the new disc, it's gonna be a long way to november. Would she get hurt, knowing that it would be difficult to reach to her soulmate? What would she be felling now? Do you all care about her? What would she be typping here if she is the one, Anna Molly?
And if she have seen everything Incubus have done before doing it, I mean if she had visions since she was 5, even with out knowing who they were. If she could predict many things, would she try killing herself when she was 16 because she also knew that he does exist, but only in visions? What if both of them do have visions? They do see each other in visions and sometimes talk about what they are doing on that moment, for instance, "Did you brush your teeth?
What would they talk about? Maybe she's a normal artist like him. What if every thing is indeed real on her world? Yes it is true that Anna Molly is an anomaly, but she is a real person. If you watch the video, you will see what happened to her. She was left for dead in a park after being raped and strangled when she was only 16 years old. What saved her was her guardian angel appearing like a man-scaring the rapist but allowing Anna Molly to save herself. When she saw the angel, it spoke directly into her eys-without words being exchanged.
Anna Molly does not know why she was saved, but she was always intently devout-wanting to be a nun. Somehow-discovering guys put an end to that, but Anna Molly will never forget what happened in that park and will always be thankful that God saved her and allowed her to live a full life. Whether she belongs with Brandon is a good question? Anna Molly has had her share of hardships and could probably use a good boyfriend, and maybe Brandon could use a good girlfriend?
This song is about an anomaly. Anomaly--One that is peculiar, irregular, abnormal, or difficult to classify: "I'll call out your name Up into the air Not one of the others could ever compare"--incubus, anna molly this song is about this girl who can't be compared or classified with the rest.
She stands out at him and draws his attention with her appeal. This song is about the narrator's one and only who isn't with him anymore. Anomaly means abnormal, the only girl that stands out in his mind. Erasing the memory of all the others. That's my opinion. I think the song is about how a guy is in secretly in love with a girl and he would do anything for her but can't because he is confused. Login Register Login with Facebook.
