I can't listen to this song without singing along really loud (even though I don't know the lyrics that well) and perhaps crying a little bit because it's so, I don't want to say emotional, but it's big, it's something monumental but simultaneously subtle. |

I'll probably be repeating what everyone else has said, but it's about loneliness, and the wanting and yearning and inability that comes with it. The hope that someone will just pick you up and make you safe, not lonely anymore. Wishing foolishly that someone would swoop down with some saving grace, and somewhere knowing it's impossible, but holding onto that slim chance with all the hope a lonely person can have. |

I think this song is what happens when you realize that what you thought was love was meaningless sex to the other person. And, consequentially, giving up, because the beauty is no longer there; instead, jealousy and apathy. They might both want the same thing, but it's already lost between them. It's a pretty simple interpretation, but it makes a lot of sense if you look at it that way. |

I can't decide if this song has hope in it or not. He could just be repeating we'll work it out, trying to make something real that's not. Or he could be truly hoping. Hmmm. You can interpret it both ways, probably. |

I think that there are two different girls in this song. One, he addresses as "she," the other, "you." It makes sense. Perhaps he realizes that the "old girl" isn't who he wants, and decides to wait for someone "like you," someone who makes him feel awesome, instead of someone he (and apparently other people) has meaningless sex with and doesn't care about. The fact that he says "No" when he starts the chorus suggests he's renouncing something, so that's what I got. What do you think of my interpretation? |

Is is at all possible that he's saying "I'll leave cured" rather than "care"? I think this makes a bit more sense. Also, "who to marry" not "who to worry"? Seems to match up better with the mixed feelings about abortion. Ah, one more suggestion: "You'll never know her orphan". Sounds more like "orphan" than "often" in the second line, andddd "orphan" also fits in with the abortion dealy. Agree? Disagree? |

Isn't it "mescaline sun"? That's what I got from it. But not knowing exactly what the lyrics are definitely does not take away from this song. It's like some barely-heard whisper in a dark room, provocative and spooky and hard to place. |
