hmmmm...all of yalls suggestions are great, so yall prolly think that this is gonna sound fucking stupid, but my translation of this song is another view of addiction... It climbs in slowly behind-(signifies how easily one may become an addict for drugs) You trust your neighbors, they’d never suspect what you’re like(being honest with these new found friends, but not letting them know every detail such as a troubled past of addiction) Welcome them into your life No one has to know Playback, delete and rewind(hiding the fact of once being an addict) It’s getting closer than you thought it’d get, Just get inside(hiding the fact that this pressure is catching up with them to talk about it) Oh, It’s moving faster than you’d ever planned, You’ll be relieved when, when you open up(the pressure of wanting to tell about this past and how this guilty feeling could be relieved if he just talked about it) You let yourself seem vulnerable And the morning sun will make our bodies comfortable in taking off your clothes everything hidden is suddenly exposed.(accepting the fact that they used to have this addiction and how one must be comfortable with their previous actions because that is who they are) Nobody wants to hear another story about how you couldn’t write, right(the difficulties of how people can present themselves through music) It climbs in slowly behind No one has to know Playback, delete and rewind Each one is louder than the one before The people you care for(each memory going from the problems then and now and how the people you care for are all intertwined with this) At ten times the expense Of all that you spent(the toll of that addiction) You’ll be relieved when When you open up You let yourself seem vulnerable And the morning sun will make our bodies comfortable in taking off your clothes everything hidden is suddenly exposed. You keep it on the inside Cause that's the safest place That's the safest place to hide(how one might not want to talk to someone about their previous addictions because the uncertainty of the response they might get in return) All of your friends are gone And you were buried holding on(drugs are being refered to friends and how he had a firm grip on these addictions) we were Wrong and the fooled once again(how he knew that drugs might not be viewed as socially acceptable, but nonetheless, who's wrong if nobody is right) We are the loneliest of men We are the loneliest....(how addictions tend to attack people who feel they have no one to turn to) And all your friends are gone Nobody hears you(all his drug habits are gone, but yet he is drawn to it by the memories, but nonetheless, no one hears him because drug related addictions are viewed as socially intolerable) And all your friends were wrong Nobody cares(how even though drug related addictions are viewed as wrong, this is a large problem in our society today) And all your friends are gone Nobody here with you And all your friends were wrong Nobody cares |
