I think its about breaking up but still actually being in love. I think the relationship is over, but she still has feelings for him and cares. "All your twisted thoughts free flow To everlasting memories Show soul Kiss the stars with me And dread the wait for Stupid calls returning to us to life" -This is during the relationship. When your young and you first have that thrilled uncertainty. You think of all these things like, do they really love me, do I really love them and you are always so anxious to talk to them again. Hence the 'dread the wait for, stupid calls returning us to life' the worst part of the calls is waiting, and we are returned to life once the call comes in, were relieved. "We say to those who are in love It can't be true 'cause we're too young I know that's true because so long I was So in love with you So I thought" -And this is where it gets sad. She is still in love with him, she was 'so in love' meaning she thought she couldn't live without him. As adults you know that simply isn't true. Which is why you say your 'too young' to really know what you're thinking. But you know to some degree. She is doubting herself in both the do I/did I love him? when she says 'so I thought' "A year goes by And I can't talk about it" -this is a year after the breakup, and its hard for her to talk or think about it because she is still hurting over him, and still in love. "On my knees Dim lighted room Thoughts free flow try to consume myself in this I'm not faithless Just paranoid of getting lost or that I might lose" -She is still hurting and scarred that she let go of her one love, she wants to believe that everything will be ok but its hard, and she is worried. "Ignorance is bliss cherish it Pretty neighborhoods you learn to much to hold Believe it not And fight the tears With pretty smiles and lies about the times" -And this is like, if you dont know or never experienced what she is feeling good, and hold on to that ignorance. If you have, never give in to the bad thoughts, and as much as it may hurt 'fight the tears(pain) with pretty smiles and lies about the times(out on a brave face and pretend it alright even if it isn't.)' "A year goes by And I can't talk about it The times weren't right And I couldn't talk about it" -This part gets me every time I hear it. Especially 'the times weren't right' this is the same as before except now she is admitting that they were too young and things couldn't have worked. they had too much growing up to do, symbolized by 'and i couldn't talk about it' "Chorus Romance says goodnight Close your eyes and I'll close mine Remember you, remember me Hurt the first, the last between Chorus Romance says goodnight Close your eyes and I'll close mine Remember you, remember me Hurt the first, the last, between" -Its typical when you are that age to hear about romances and fairy tales, but there chorus romance says goodnight and they leave each other 'close your eyes and I'll close mine". She just want to remember them when they were good, but also what went wrong so that they don't repeat it. "And I'm praying that we will see Something there in between Then and there that exceeds all we can dream So we can talk about it" -She is hoping that one day when they are grown up maybe they can both be truly happy, they can both 'talk about it'. That's the feeling i get from the song when I listen to it. But I think that's what is wonderful about music is your ability to interpret its meaning for yourself. |
