The Disco Before The Breakdown

I do think this song talks about a taboo relationship, but that does not neccessarily mean gay. (although my personal opinion is that it is about a gay relationship)

It could also be a reference to knowning that the community would disown him after talking to major labels.

I've always thought of this song as being about a 'gay' relationship. However, I never really spend time analysing lyrics, so maybe there's a deeper meaning.

It's almost subliminal, it makes you wanna dance, but it's sad.

its about Toms relationship with a fat chick.

Hah. I'm sure Tom isn't that ignorant. Unfortunately some of us are.

However, the idea of someone being ashamed of liking a fat person is really interesting to me. Why does society base a person's value on how much they weigh? It seems kind of silly to me. It's silly to base a person's value on their sexuality and race as well, of course. But I think judging someone based on their size is a newer development in society.

I don't think anyone should be ashamed of who they want to be with, and for people to make someone feel like they should be ashamed is just plain cruel. I think this song is more than just a story of being in a forbidden relationship; I think it's really showing how fucked up society is for putting pressure on people to not only look a certain way, but to prefer certain looks as well.

Personally, I usually like a girl with some junk in the trunk, yaw mean...

This is probably my favorite AM song and the Disco EP is definitely my favorite AM release..

Hahah, actually I'm a girl. & I just didn't find it really funny, was all. I was trying to make conversation about the song based on what you said, which is what this thread is for. I appreciate your commentary though. It's all good.

I definitely agree with lauren on this one, society is fucked up to put pressure on people to look a certain way.
