Communication

As 'hotsoupwoman' says, I also think this song is about someone with some kind of social phobia, Aspergers or something else that includes social disorders. The sentence "I don't know how to connect, so I disonnect" illustrate this in such a good way. And so do their very first sentence - for 27 years she been trying to confide in other peoples, but it doesn't seems like she is doing it that well, consider her own sigh. <br /> <br /> "Some of them got closer than others<br /> and someone wouldn't even bother <br /> and then you came around"<br /> <br /> I do see this lyrics as a description of a social indisposed person which make her feel all this "disconnecting" in session with others. Someone walk in the door just to leave next month, and others wouldn't even care, except when this person enter her life ('then you came around'). I think this may be a person who finally understand her and her communication, however she still not really get the receipe of connecting.<br /> <br /> "Well this is an invitation<br /> it's not a threat<br /> If you want communication<br /> that's what you get"<br /> <br /> Invitations is, in this persons eye, almost a threat. I think this is what social indisposed peoples often gets impression of, and it's why this lyric reminds of such humans.<br /> <br /> At last;<br /> "I'm talking, I'm talking<br /> but I don't know<br /> how to connect<br /> so I disconnect<br /> <br /> I disconnect"<br /> <br /> They do move their talk on and on, but still without a feeling of progress - or connection. Therefore they rather decide to disconnect. And so they do...<br /> <br /> It's a very nice song. I really like the lyrics in that way I construe it.
