Died in a motor crash
I came back for you
The perfect version of myself
Tomorrow we start again
Tomorrow came and went

I'm indestructible, how
I'm indestructible
I'm indestructible, how
I'm into, I'm in two

We won't say a thing
While you give your life away
Give your life away, not a thing
We won't say a thing
While you give your life away

Died in an amusement park accident
I came back for you
So you wouldn't be alone
And if I go away again
You can have my stereo

I'm indestructible, how
I'm indestructible
I'm indestructible, how
I'm into, I'm in two

We won't say a thing
While you give your life away
Give your life away, not a thing
We won't say a thing
While you give your

I'm indestructible
I'm indestructible
I'm indestructible

    I didn't understand this song until I found out Matt is bipolar. I'm not bipolar but I know a few people who are and they do feel indestructible- it's part of the disease. "I'm in two" means there are two personalities- manic and depressive.

    I could be way off, but I'm going to play Devil's advocate here. What if, like the majority of his manifestos, proclaiming "I'm indestructible" is completely satirical. I agree that the main theme is love and relationships, however I lean towards the notion he's referring his own personal insecurities, while appearing fine on the surface, his introverted nature aids in tearing him a part, ranging from feeling inadeqaute compared to his girlfirend/better half and the relationship suffers. Hence the generalized statements that refer to dying, symbolizing the relationship's tumultuous nature. The kicker is that they love each other so much that they're willing to work towards salvaging the relationship, and are unfortunately stuck in a cyclical loop, where Matt constantly gives into his insecurities, trying hard to reach what he feels his girlfriend deserves. Ultimately, while their bond is strong, characterized by Matt's proclamation of feeling indestructible around her, the other side of the coin plays a dehabilitating role as the relationship continues to fall a part. In the end, he wants the best for her, and while he loves and will be there for her (the stereo), he continues to breakdown ("I'm into, I'm in two") under the immense pressure he puts himself through....I could be way out in leftfield, but it's a thought.

    My flavour of the month right now. Reminds me of the X-men, someone who keeps coming back? Maybe hes making fun of when people say 'I'll be with you forever'? Someone who loves this person so much they're willing to let the other person make their own mistakes?

    mat good can be too confusing, if he is singing to express himself he should cut back on the imagery and be a bit more straight forward. i know ther has to be meaning to the song but he needs to explain himself better or i give up on him.

    Matt's songs are confusing, but that doesn't mean they don't hv any meaning. I THINK basically this song parallels a relationship that is so strong, but despite the intense love the couple has, they are continually faced with complications, and fate is against them. (That why it talks about him dying, but promising her he'll make up for it by coming back, giving her a stereo, ext.) In the end though, the two are so frusterated that he decides to give in to dying as she decides to come along with him. (We won't say a thing, while you give your life away.)

    Personally I think all good art is ambiguous in that it can take multiple meaning, any artist worth his weight will recognize this. While I do agree that this song is confusing in that there is not a clear meaning, I do think it's about love and how he will always come back to the one he likes even if they do not know he is around. Although this is one of many possible interpertations.

    Regardless it's a very good song.

    I think, in a lot of ways, this song is about innocence and basic love. He's singing about him and another person(girl), who see the world different than most people. They are more concerned with being genuinely happy then letting the jadedness of the world get to them. "We won't say a thing, while you give you live away" refers to most people - who are too cynical/jaded to believe in real love/happiness.

    I love this song. I also think he is singing about no matter what happens to him, how bad he is, she sticks around. He is the more unstable one in the relationship, and everyday "we start again. And im thinking by "We wont say a thing, while you give your life away" means he thinks she is waisting her time with him, yet still staying. Because of the strong love/bond mentioned before. So basically, he thinks, maybe she thinks, and maybe everyone else thinks he is the worst out of the two. Awesome song.

More Featured Meanings

Album art
Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
Album art
Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Album art
Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Album art
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Album art
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
