Song meaning of Bonnie & Clyde (Live at Red Rocks Amphitheatre) by Vance Joy

Oh, Vance Joy is really helping us navigate deep philosophical questions with this one, isn't he? "Bonnie & Clyde" starts off with a thrilling trip to the movies, where our protagonist and their honey munch on popcorn and feel oh-so guilty about wasting a sunny day indoors. But hold on tight, because here comes the main attraction: Bonnie and Clyde! You know, those famous criminal lovebirds who were just minding their own business, driving down a backroad, when BAM! The police caught wind of their shenanigans and decided to hide in trees, like modern-day ninjas. Unfortunately, Bonnie and Clyde learned firsthand that trees are no match for bullets, as they were greeted with an astonishing one hundred and thirty rounds of hot lead. Ouch! Quite a tragic ending, don't you think? But Vance Joy doesn't want us to wallow in despair. No no, he imparts some existential wisdom upon us, suggesting that since we never know when it's our time to go, we might as well spill the beans and say what's on our minds. Deep stuff, Vance Joy, deep stuff. Oh, and don't forget, no matter where you've been, just dive into some water and you'll magically emerge shiny and clean! It's like a poetic car wash for your soul. Genius! Thank you, Vance Joy, for reminding us to embrace life's uncertainties and soak ourselves in aquatic purifying goodness.
