Hurtinglikeyou, I agree with that those lyrics are really cool (not that you are going to know since you wrote that over 6 years ago lol), but I completely disagree with your interpretation. In fact I think it is almost opposite to the actual message of the song which you made sound like some anthem to being weird. This song is about doing the HARD thing (which the lyrics state over and over again), not the fun thing. This song is certainly not about doing "whatever you want to", it is about doing what you have to do (cleaning up some mess someone made, to be specific). What you are doing is so hard that it is "hard not to break down and cry"; people are certainly not going to wish they had joined in what you are doing, except for the fact it was the right thing to do. I like you interpretation mandate439, but this song was written too long ago for that. |

After reading the comments, I personally think it is about an older guy (like a senior) liking a girl (like a freshman), but then his conscience gets the better of him and he decides she is too young to 'go all the way' with. "Don't hold yourself like that You'll hurt your knees I kissed your mouth and back That's all I need" I think he is referring to what else girls can do on their knees after kissing. He is saying he doesn't want her to go that far, kissing is enough. That way the whole thing fits together "Don't build your world around Volcanoes melt you down" He's saying not to get too attached to him, he is not right for her "And what I am to you Is not real And what I am to you You do not need" same thing "And what I am to you Is not what you mean to me You give me miles and miles of mountains And I ask for the sea" She is not what he really is looking for (she is too young and probably doesn't share enough common ground.) "Don't throw yourself like that In front of me I kissed your mouth your back Is that all you need" She is questioning his decision to push her away. [. . . .] same idea.... "No, no, just another phase of finding what I really need Is what makes me bleed Like a new disease But lord she's still too young to treat" Again, he likes her immensely, but decided to limit their physical relationship because "she's still too young to *treat*". |
