while someone could take this song at face value, and be like yeah, it's about the book-- maybe it expounds on some of the book's themes you know?.. i know that's pretty close to being about the book, but i think he goes further with it and makes a statement about everyone's individual relationship with faith. you know.. how some people only really decide to go out and seek god after a loss-- and their faith is more of a sign of desperation, in order to try to recapture what it was they lost, than it is actual faith which is supposed to be a relationship with god that is independent of need. i see a lot of this theme throughout the entire song. |

i think this song is about someone who keeps himself in hurtful situations, while everyone around him (including the speaker in the song) is just like, "quit it, it's redundant already". there are just people who put themselves in bad places so they can martyr themselves to the romantic cause and be so heroically afflicted; and the people around them tend to get sick of hearing about it-- because you can't keep on pulling for someone who never wants to make things better for themselves. in the end noone gives a shit about the problems they don't wanna escape besides for themselves. |
