Yup that's right, he's writing about someone who's envious of all the good looking and athletic people, and probably socially inept due to his physical appearance. The guy/girl however performs fine otherwise over the phone when identity is inconscequential. Lyrics aside, this song has a wondeful melody and melancholic tone to it. Nice. |

Hey Disposition_987, I agree with you that it sounds more like 'fucking lie' than 'parking lot'. Either case, the meaning of the song is retained, in that anger is expressed towards the destruction of nature. I think it could very likely be deliberately done so by the band - you know - creative modification etc. |

I agree with Breena on how this song is about heartbreak and separation. Even now as I'm nursing the heart pains of a recent breakup, I find that I really need a distraction to keep thoughts of her coming back into my mind. The whole time feeling a desire to want to die because of the pain that I'm experiencing, and maybe even, dying so that I can come back to life and start anew with her. And I totally agree that I feel a strange, even irrational desire and hope that as long as I'm alive there may still be a chance for us to get back together again. |

This song is simply beautiful (and yes I'm a self-confessed FFF fan). I believe John is writing about a younger woman whom he loves and addresses as 'Kid', but this woman is on the verge of dying, i.e. "The Captain's Calling...come to see you back where we belong" which he probably believes to be heaven, or a better place. As he stares into her dying eyes he sees 'bloodshot fire clouds' in her eyes, signifying her will to cling on to life. In his heart, he questions his beliefs, but admiring the beauty of the woman he loves, he infers that God is in love with him to have graciously given him this woman whom he can love. Througout this time, his heart is breaking at the thought of losing her, and yet in his heart he hopes that there'll be some place better for the both of them. "Something inside me is breaking. Something inside says there’s somewhere better than this…". |
