this so is soo good it gives me shivers, makes me happy for how good it is, but makes me want to cry because it is just so SAD!!! i can relate to this situation (not personally). i do definatley think that's is about some sort of molestation or rape. (if not i think it's about hearbreak in general.. but not likely..) its just so blatetly OBVIOUS that it's about a rape. about a father raping a girl, a long time ago. This girl then grew up.. and she told her current boyfriend about what happened to her on 'April 12'. it's so sad because the boyfriend wants to help her so badly.. and he can see how she must have been so happy before it happend: 'but I can still see where you loved yourself before he tore it all down.' and then the father came and violated her an ruined any happiness that she had. The boyfriend is just so angry because of how powerless he feels in this situation and 'useless'.. he wants the girl to get back at her father.. wants her to take revenge.. he thinks that the situation might be better if she humiliated him. 'you should wreck his life the way that he wrecked yours' I think the boyfriend wants so badly for his girlfriend to feel like she has dignity, but the girls wants to 'forget it'.. she doesn't want to lose her dignity in facing her father.. shes afraid.. she doesnt want anymore to do with it. i know a girl who got raped.. she didnt want to tell anyone.. it's so frustrating, like this song, because you want so badly to help.. to get revenge on the stupid fuckhead who did it, but she just wants to forget it.. wants to put the situation behind her. now she just takes drugs all the time to forget it. its so awful how someone can completely ruin somebody else's life forever.. just from one single event.. can stip away somebodies dignity, pride, love, everything. and then just leave all this hurt behind and get away with it!!! however this song is interpreted, its brilliant. this is just my meaning.. great song. |

this is SUCH a good song.. i like the beat and the music.. everything about it.. it's sad, and sweet. brilliant. i think it's obviously about a past love.. 'But with memories of a grapevine' and the shyness and innocence of it at first, 'We barely touched As if being watched'. I think it's about a realtiionship that holds many memories in the past.. even though they may have broken up, it's like they can still sense and feel each other.. as he's looking back on the situation, 'Yours is mine We’ll find love The kind we’re dreaming of' but they want different things.. its hopeful in the sense that they may each find the type of love they want from other people.. but not from each other. whatever it means.. its amazing |

i dont think its a gay meaning at all. (and even so it doesnt matter!!) i think it's about a girl who stays over and a guys house.. obviously the situation means alot more to her than it does to him.. 'Nothing assumed but you know? You know…' it's like being in a stiuation where you want more from the other person than they want from you.. and in turn it can make someone 'feel quite cheap'. And now it is like she is numb to this situation but she can't help liking him.. 'Already dead So kill my head There's a sun in his eyes' i don't know... that's just my interpretation about it. anywayyyy Its a very say song, no matter how you interpret it. |
