Dan from New Jersey Awesome song with so much meaning. "Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end." The song really resonates with me and so many people. The official video has 107,144,339 views on YouTube. That is astounding. Thank you Dan Wilson for writing this gem.

As bizarre as it sounds, the metaphorical comparison between doors and vaginas actually works when we think about the process of childbirth, where the baby passes through the birth canal and out of the mother’s body… or out into the world. In short, Doors = the vagina. We’re off to a smashing start!
The “boy/girl” stuff makes more sense now. And I guess this line refers to hospital lights or the new world that a newborn enters. It could also represent the bright, hopeful future that parents envision for the child. Unless it’s a metaphor on top of a metaphor and is referring to the beginning of human consciousness or something.
Gee, wonder why people thought this was really about a bar? Is whiskey or beerlike one last quick suck of nutrients from the mother’s umbilical cord before being born?
So this is quite definitively the child being bounced from the womb into the outside world. The child can’t stay in the womb anymore, but they also can’t stay in the birth canal, so they have to keep moving forward. The idea of not being able to go back to the womb, but having to move forward into a new phase of life, is a common theme in childbirt...
The baby wants his parents to take him home? This feels a little insecure, like Dan Wilson was worried his baby might’ve rejected him for one of the guys from Better Than Ezra.
Logical. Makes more context in the childbirth sense than the bar sense, actually. It’s the child leaving the comfort and safety of the womb to enter the world and begin their own journey.
Makes way more sense. The womb wasn’t available until the other siblings got out of there. It represents the waiting period between the birth of one child and the readiness of the mother’s womb. Although I’m not sure that this line is really spectacular in the bar.
Makes sense for twins, perhaps? It could also work in the sense of the child finding a companion in the outside world after leaving the womb. But it’s definitely a bit of a stretch compared to some of the other lines. Otherwise, I’m not sure this works in the macro picture.
Sure thing, makes sense, pregnancy ends, life begins, lightning crashes. It’s the end of pregnancy being the beginning of a new life for both the baby and the mother. A deep thought that fits well with the overall theme of the song.
And from here on, it’s just the chorus a few more times and a few repeated lines. Maybe Dan Wilson wants us to focus on those lyrics, and adding more may send a much more confusing meaning to the already confusing lyrics. Verdict: Semisonic’s Closing time really might be about childbirth, with a few serious red herrings thrown in. Next week: Perhap...
