I feel like this song relates to high school situations.. but I didn't really feel connected to the song until recently. To me it's about someone who is very talented and going places but maybe people around her want to hold her back because they are jealous ("bitter hearts"). It's a great song that can relate to so many situations.. |

I always assumed that most of the song was references to events in history because of the line "So...I spent a night in Kigali in a five diamond hotel
Where maybe someday, they'll do the wa-tutsi down in hutu hell" which is referring to the genocide in Rwanda (Kigali is the capital). To make a long sad story short- the Hutu slaughtered 937,000 Tutsi in a 100 days in 1994. The US ignored it and didn't interviene although they had soldiers stationed there. I assumed the line about the hotel was refering to the hotel that saved over a thousand Tutsi from being killed. |

there are really no lyrics that would make it seem like the girl isn't in love with the guy. even the part where he says "you wept but your soul was willing" it's a very good way to put it, since it was apparently her first time ("untouched Miranda"). i think it's a very romantic story about a couple who is forced to commit suicide to be together. |
