This song is about two friends riding bikes (obviously showing off that they can ride bikes without their handlebars) then a little later, they grow up. One of the becomes filled with greed and loves power, riches, and fame. The other, is for the people, leading the poor, wealthy, and needy people to battle with the other friend. This ends in an ultimate clash, where the power and riches friend ends up killing a ton of people, and even him looks horrified with all of the people he's/his team of assassins, almost like juggernauts, and all of that has killed....

This song, best explained by the music video, is about him being torn with taking care of his mother and pursuing his music career. His legs go towards his music career while his top half stays with his mother. At the very end his top half falls down in front of the mother which shows he (his music career) died when he stayed with his mother.

These lyrics appear to describe someone wrestling with depression. Given our current understanding of how depression works (c 2025), it’s important to note that many clinicians view it as part of one’s personality. More specifically, the DSM-V classifies this condition as depressive personality disorder. This detail is important because depression, when managed, can still linger in the shadows, waiting to erupt… often at the worst possible time.

Here’s why these lyrics describe depression…

You're too ignorant to fail, I can't look you in the eye And I can't even tell if you've been tellin' me a lie Every time you...

What are those three words? "I love you" perhaps?

Incredibly beautiful song. One of the best songs of the 2000-2010 decade.

A forgotten song of the early 1960s. Great tune. Pat Boone's version was actually a cover. The original was by David Hess.

One of the best songs of the early '60s. I love the early rock 'n' roll sound: horns, guitar, drums and a nice voice. It's crazy to think he came before The Beatles and other big names. A few years before rock 'n' roll took off.

No need to discuss the meaning of the song!

I'm glad I finally looked up the lyrics. This came out in high school and till now I always heard (the lights are going out, I long to pull the plug) 😬 I always wondered what the meaning of that was. 🤣

lyrics and the obvious sexual meaning aside, i see the song as critical of over-commercialisation of things within modern western societies, things such as sex - supported by the music video
