=^.^= SPELLCHECKED VERSION =^.^= VERSE 1 Don't hold yourself like that You'll hurt your knees (from his point of view, she is willing to do anything... - be it what you want, blowjob or worshipping him- He is telling her not to...) I kissed your mouth and back That's all I need (He s saying look we've had a little fun, but that's all it was, nothing more, just fun.) Don't build your world around Volcanoes melt you down (Saying he is too much for her to handle, telling her he will break her heart.) ######################################################################################################### CHORUS - both sing...talking to each other? And what I am to you Is not real (Trying to explain that you dont see me in my true light) And what I am to you You do not need (He is being literal, saying you could do without me, I will hurt you... She is possibly being sarcastic, or asking him..."So do you not need me?) And what I am to you Is not what you mean to me (Both saying that obviously, they both have different feelings for each other, basically, he is saying you care about me too much she is saying, well you obviously don't care about me enough) You give me miles and miles of mountains And I ask for the sea (He is saying, I dont want, you, I wanted something else,...not quite sure what she would be trying to say, still working on that one.) ######################################################################################################## VERSE 2 - She speaks. Don't throw yourself like that In front of me (She is saying, don't slate/insult youself...) I kissed your mouth your back Is that all you need (Asking, was that all I was a notch in your bedpost) Don't drag my love around Volcanoes melt me down (saying, dont mess me about, because my heart will get broken.) ######################################################################################################## Bridge - he says: What I give to you Is just what I'm going through This is nothing new No, no, just another phase of finding (Saying that he is just in the phase of finding the right person for him, and she obv. isn't it, its not the first time he has done this, and probably wont be the last, "just another phase...") what I really need Is what makes me bleed Like a new disease But lord she's still too young to treat (Saying what he really needs is somehting that keeps him on edge...maybe she don't as she is willing to anything [referring to the worshipping thats going on in verse one). Saying that she is like a new disease, and with all new illnesses, there is no magic cure straight away lot of people have to suffer] so saying that he can't control her feelings for him possibly.) ######################################################################################################## Lol, could be talking out of my ass of course... let me know what you think...xxx |

I think this song is about this one night stand, with a young girl and an older man. The girl is thinking that there is more to the "relationship" but he knows it was a mistake, she wants more, and it could be the thrill of the chase, (that could be the mountains/volcanoes = excitement) but he doesnt want any of that. In the ;ast verse he is saying it is my fault if i lead you on, but it was just once, and he didnt mean anything more to come out of it... what woman hasnt been there and heard something similar lol |

The first time i heard this song, by the end of it i was in tears, even now i still feel like i want to cry towards the end. For me this song is about a couple and one of them has really messed it up, and they are on the verge of breaking up. He is explaining (probably to himself, or a mate i don't know) why he thinks it has gone so wrong. I can relate to this. Growing up as a child, my mum and dad did not set the best example, lots of accusations and paranoia surrounding infidelity etc. so when i grew up i was just the same, and the paranoia got so bad with my 1st love that i would cheat on him then inteded to throw it at him in an arguement (never did), or to make myself feel better etc etc. anyways he found out needless to say the relationship ended, I dont love him anymore, i have moved on and learned my lesson (solemnly swear never to cheat again...blah blah blah) but the lines: "love taught me to lie" and "it's not hard to fall, when you float like a cannonball" gets me every time, and the guilt comes flooding back and i think thats what Rice may be getting at. |
