Hi! I really like the song Stick&Stones from How To Train Your Dragon. But English is not my native language and I’m not sure that I understand some phrases correctly. Help me, please! Can anybody explain (in other words) what these phrases from the song mean: Up in through your sleeves, Bursting through the seams Sleeves isn't a part of a garment that covers all or part of an arm, is it? |

Yep that's correct. "Up in through your sleeves" is exactly that. "Bursting through the seams" seams as in the edges of the cloth that are sewn together. So it is what you think it is. |

Thanks! So, these phrases mean: fly in the sky on the sleeves (like on the wings)? |

It's not clear, but that'll do. My version is "Fly through the sleeves and rip open the sleeve by the sewn edges." But you never know what the composer is really getting at sometimes. |

From other Jonsi songs, I've noticed that the lyrics have a general point to them (here it's to "open your eyes and see" and for Go Do it's basically "we can do anything") but verse by verse don't necessarily have a meaning to them XD |

Me? An otaku? Pfff. Yes I do like dragons if you're wondering. Doesn't seem like it from my profile pic n signature, I know, but I do.

Oh and here are the lyrics to sticks and stones if you want them Eyes open wide, blinded by the sun now Orange and white, dark red, green and yellow Rainbow colors! Do not hide, see the view! Step aside, go through! Against the light, too strong, blow a fuse now Everything bright, new songs, burning shoes The look in your eyes! Break our bones into half! Scream and shout and do laugh! Let yourself... go (Oh Oh Oh) Let yourself... go (Oh Oh Oh) Stay close to me Count one, two and three Up in through your sleeves Bursting through the seams Open your eyes and see - You'll see Inn um ermar, upp hryggjarsúluna Yfir skóg, flæðir niður brekkuna Allt upp í loft! Ég mun aldrei gleyma! Því ég mun aldrei! Hleypur um, rífur, leysir flækjurnar (Upp með rótum) Með blik í augum! Stórmerki, undur, brjótum bein í sundur! Let yourself... go (Oh Oh Oh) Let yourself... go (Oh Oh Oh) Stay close to me Count one, two and three Up in through your sleeves Bursting through the seams Open your eyes and see Stay close to me Count one, two and three Up in through your sleeves Right beyond the trees Show you how you'll be Stay close to me Count one, two and three Up in through your sleeves Bursting through the seams Open your eyes and see - You'll see Stay close to me... Count one, two, three Up in your sleeves... You're right behind me Stay close to me... Count one, two, three Up in your sleeves... Burst through the seams Open your eyes and see You'll see (You'll see...) |

cometotheberkside Thanks for the help! Night fury fire Thanks for the lyrics! And what about burning shoes (Against the light, too strong, blow a fuse now. Everything bright, new songs, burning shoes)? Does the combination of words 'burning shoes' mean 'fast running (in excitement)', 'being in a hurry'? |
