I agree with your interpretation of this song. "Would you rather burn out or fade away?" "Stay with the all unknown...Stay away from the hooks” I think this is meaning don't sell out...stay original, a common theme to much of her writing. |

| Love this song, one of the best on the album. "What it is and where it stops nobody knows...You gave me a life I never chose... want to leave but the world won't let me go" To me this is clearly referring to being famous and the level of fame they have achieved. I see them as a band that truly plays for the love of music, not fame. I think the rest of the song may just be clever analogy’s on the same topic. | |

I agree with most, Depression...maybe leading to cutting. Most likey abused past suggested by the title of the song. Possibly written about the same girl from "Heaven Forbid"? |

| I agree with most other posts. I think this song is about a girl, someone he is likely close with, having watched her friends in meaningful relationships and not yet experiencing one of her own. She's at the point of thinking she may just "end up alone". The line "It's like you wanted to go and give yourself away" maybe she's still a virgin? "It feels good, is that reason enough for you." would fit into this as well. Maybe he's trying to advise her away from making the mistake that so many women make when they just want to fit in and not waiting until they are in love. Just a thought. "Out of this one..." This is something that he can't fix for her...he's just hoping she'll take his advice and "hold on tight, wait for tomorrow" | |

This song can be broken into several different themes both literally and figuratively. I think the first verse is about being in a new city while on tour. "I found a friend or should I say foe..." possibly referring to all the people in the music business wanting a piece of you while your on top. Many artist write about this. The rest of this verse fits well with this idea. As for the chorus... "We're only taking turns, holding this world" - a beautiful way of saying...we're here and then we die. "It's how it's always been" - generation after generation no matter the high's and low's the world keeps spinning. "when your older you will understand" - a phrase we have all heard and can relate to...fit's beautifully to the rest of the chorus. Second verse. "If I say who I know..." beautiful and true. Both "Take it from me we don't give sympathy..." & "But I said you and me we don't have honesty..." a look at the bitterness of life that we all face. "I try to get out, but I never will"... we all get ourselves stuck in situations that we can't seem to get out of. And finally the end "Then again maybe you don't/won't" - Life is hard...some learn from their mistakes, some get it, and then again some don't! Beautiful song...reminds me of "Wheel" by John Mayer. Another modern-day-poets' look on life! |

I think this is the most beautiful song he has written...I'm glad to see others (as well as John himself) are so moved by it. Almost every time I hear it I am in tears by the end... "you can't love too much one part of it..." One of the truest lyrics...I see it as meaning to love and love deeply but don't allow yourself to loose sight of everything else as the "wheel" will keep on turning. "I believe, that my life's gonna see, the love I give returned to me..." What a beautiful way to see the world. |
