Song Meaning of “Octopus – RAC Remix” by Bloc Party
‘Octopus – RAC Remix’ by Bloc Party speaks to a demanding, testing relationship in which both the speaker and their partner have become so comfortable with one another that they have settled into a sort of routine that no longer brings either of them joy. The octopus in the title speaks to the idea of being intertwined and bound in a way that may feel like suffocating entanglement. Despite the fact that this relationship has become heavy, the speaker still feels a strong connection and desire to keep it alive. They want to find ways to spark life back into the stagnant waters of the relationship, even if it means trying to find ways to enhance what it already is. At the same time, they realize the difficulty of the task at hand, yet remain determined to stay in the fight despite all odds.
