After watching the video, I think it is about a breakup and how people go about it differently, sometimes lying to themselves about the impact it has on the other person. Hence: To all the leaves that fall in vain, While god and goddess go insane, All these words in your domain, The watches kill time as the books read, This ties with videos theme of the guy going nuts while the girl calmly reads her book. She SEEMS to be unaffected, just reading her book, but she's mimicking all the same words the guy is feeling. Hence: Inadvertently we bleed, Fighting for what we deceive.. As for why they're not together if they both miss each other so much: How many times have you dated someone you really liked, but trying to actually be with them was impossible? With the other songs on the album being about the end of the world, who has time to be with someone who perturbs you? Hence: Leave me alone, Leave me alone, Now why can't you see that you always perturb me so, Nearing the end of the world, just leave me alone, In a nutshell I think Serj is talking about those connections who have with certain people that are just awesome, so that when it's over you miss them. But it's over for a reason, so it's not a song about reconciliation. It's also about how even though we think the person that's going nuts and acting out is the only one hurting, but they're not, both parties hurt and tell themselves what they need to inorder to move on. |
