So as far as my interpretation goes, she starts off with "50 states, 50 lines, and so on" 50 - in my opinion - doesn't really have a meaning in itself other than "a lot of" A lot of boys, a lot of lies. Now I feel indifferent - She has lost the feelings she could once have for someone. Or at least for some time. She is sad because of someone who's left her life, possibly by cheating, or no longer being in love, or for any reason. The whole chorus on "We were young we didn't care Is it gone Oh it's floating in the air I changed my mind Now I feel indifferent" They were young when they started, she, too, changed her mind. But still she wished he was still there in one way or another. Torn between the two opposites. I wish I was a little more delicate - I believe this turns to "perhaps I did something wrong, maybe I should have been more like this" In the end she's hurt and wants this all to just go away. No more heartaches. Hence "I wish my name was Clementine"; a reference to "The enternal sunshine of the spotless mine". Remove it from memory altogether. |
