People? This is song meanings. Not a place where you tell your personal boohoo sob stories. I mean, yeah, it's sad... But it's off topic. Stick to interpretting the song for what it is; a bit of relation to self is cool, but you're starting to overdo it. |

'Where the shock sets in And the stomach acid finds a new way to make you get sick I sure hope you didn't expect to get all of the attention Let's not get selfish' Applies to the guilt of cheating on her boyfriend, and as well as the girl, even though she had a boyfriend, was trying to keep the guy she was cheating with away from other girls. (from OAR18) It's a good way to try and interpret the song, but with that last line, the full verse is actually: Oh, now I do recall We just were getting to the part Where the shock sets in And the stomach acid finds a new way to make you get sick I sure hope you didn't expect to get all of the attention Let's not get selfish Did you really think I'd let you kill this chorus? There's actually punctuation missing there, in those last two lines; it should read: Let's not get selfish: did you really think I'd let you kill this chorus? It's because it sounds like the guy is about to go launching into yet *another* bit about the girl, giving her more attention (kind of like what she cried out for when she cheated on him). It marks, however, a point where the guy seems to be starting to move on: no, he will *not* focus anymore attention/energy into this matter, and instead, he's going to move past. After that, I've always felt like there's a more ... sarcastic /attitude/ or tone to the piece. His voice doesn't reflect it (just like it doesn't betray too much emotion throughout the entirety of the song), but it feels as if it's there. As to 'testosterone boys and harelquin girls': testosterone is often cited as the 'rationale' for stupid things that people of the male influence do. Kind of like how women blame their bitchiness on their periods/PMS. ;) So, when you pair up a boy raring to go with testosterone - very driven - with a 'harlequin girl' - a girl who is very foolish, with the interpretation of the clown, especially including make-up - you get a very nasty situation: a girl who is foolish and pretentious seeming, and a boy who "can't control himself" and will act on what he wants. The girlfriend, and the boy she cheated with. |
