| oo i love this song. I think it's just about a place 'the broken bricks' that used to be nice and where people could go and hang out that over the years became run down and polluted. | |

| Its about a factory where people used to work(like her father, brother, and boyfriend). But it got shut down and now the only people who go there are kids who are wondering whats in there. The line 'felt your boyfriends fist' probobly refers to how mad people were that they lost their jobs when the place got shut down. | |

| acci dent don't say stuff like that he's welcome to his opinion and who could possibly know what the intention behind this song was anyway, he's probably right. What does it say to me? Could it be the proverbial 'Closet'? Where secrets are kept, where sins are kept under lock and key never to be revealed. 'Broken Bricks' are a clear indication of this, bricks are made to build things with, here, a life, 'the building blocks of life' is a common phrase. Broken bricks symbolise weaknesses in the structure, parts not to be seen IMHO. There seems also to be a political message here, 'jump over water but you land in oil'... if the place is full of oil, it seems that the Stripes seem to think oil is a controvertial topic and it almost undoubtedly is. | |
