This song is about seeing a hollow relationship for what it is, and how that realization can be both deflating and also an epiphany of sorts. The train moving to fast thing means he was basically jumping to conclusions, he had built an image that wasn't true. He gets frustrated as the relationship falters but is somewhat relieved that the relationship never got anywhere, because he now sees her for how she really is-- "now I got a different view". In the end when he says "I'm not your friend, I never was", yes it is a bitter sendoff, but I don't think its just sex but rather unmet expectations-- he is working too hard and she doesn't care, and he finally realizes she isn't worth it. BUT WHO THE FUCK KNOWS? |

Yeah this song is about accepting losing and kind of embracing it, seeing the humor in it I guess. Well it seems like he's reveling in his failure (real or imagined) - "laughing at the life youre wasting". At the same time he obviously sees it as kind of haunting him. |

The first part is about Skynyrd... for obvious reasons. The song is basically just a big fuck-you to critics and people he used to know that are jealous of his fame. |
