General Comment 26 min ago Rated 0 I feel like contra is short for contradiction. They both say they want something but aren't willing to admit to what they really want. They start off with a really strong 'two month' connection. But in contradiction to their feelings they fall apart despite their connection because of personal walls that keep them from possible happiness. The woman in the song 'turns away' from him because he can't really give her what she dreams of; some fairytale of 'good schools and friends with pools'. She has decided that this is what is most important even though she has said 'never pick sides, never choose between two' (love and practicality?). And she has claimed to be into rock and roll but instead is opting to submit to the mundane.

And he has been letting this happen. Despite his feelings he is letting her disconnect herself, perhaps to protect himself? He preached her same 'never pick sides' bit, but instead of choosing to fight for her he is letting them separate themselves while accusing her of being contra while not recognizing it in himself. And maybe this song is him trying to reach out.

But is it enough in time? Song MeaningThis is what Ezra said about the song in his Track-By-Track guide to 'Contra', to NME: 'It’s the first song that I’ve sang entirely in falsetto and the vocal feels more exposed because of that. It’s a conversation between two people and the way they’re using the word ‘contra’ is to say, “You’re the opposite of me.” Say you break up with your girlfriend and suddenly you feel like they’re a totally different person to you, but obviously that’s not the whole story because at one point you felt very tender towards them. We have so many signals in our life telling us to make decisions between two things, but usually it’s not as simple as that. Some people would say a choice between two things is no choice at all. We thought of calling the album 'Contra' before this song was even written — to me it makes perfect sense as the title of this album because in some way every song has something to say about being forced into a dichotomy, that every choice is always either A or B. You can apply it to politics, culture, religion or personal relationships.

But is it enough in time? My Interpretation'When you turn away from me It's not right' this part of the song means, i think, that just because that they were together, all the bad things his partner were doing, weren't suddenly ok.
