When I'm listening to the second half of the first verse, I get the feeling that the "I" is from the perspective of Lisa. Since she met Chelsea who came from some abusive relationship, it's obvious that she would want to "help her out", but that can be a very difficult thing to do when Chelsea is "losing it". Also, I've always seen the "losing it" part to be about trying to discover one's sexual identity. I speak from a bit of experience when I say that when you first begin to question your sexual identity, it definitely feels like you're losing it from time to time. It can really tear you apart when you're trying to decide where you stand, and it still occasionally gets to me even a couple years after it all started. |

You're not alone in your appreciation for good music here in America. There are a few of us hiding here or there. An excellent song, by the way! |

I'm surprised no one has commented on a possible reference to the Bible story of Sodom and Gomorrha. SOAD has been known to quote biblical passages in the past, so I think this may be another one of those. In the story, God chooses to destroy the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha with some kind of fire raining from the heavens because the people in the towns are apparently very sinful. He tells this man (named Lot) and his wife to leave before he destroys it and to never look back. In the end of the story, Lot's wife turns around as the town is being destroyed and God turns her into a pillar of sand. (For what reason, I am not sure) I just figured I'd bring that up because of the lines: "You see my pain is real Watch my world dissolve and pretend that none of us see the fall As I turn to sand you took me by the hand and declared that love prevails over all" They seem to be mocking the blind faith in the apparent justification of the destruction of two entire cities. Lot's wife turns back and feels some kind of empathy for the people being destroyed and is severely punished because she did not want to turn a blind eye towards the destruction. Lot just continues on following God and chooses to ignore yet another dead by the hands of "God". I believe this is just another SOAD anti-war song as they insult those religious fanatics who somehow believe that "just" wars are possible and are somehow a way to spread love. |
