Firstly, I want to say this is a beautiful, beautiful song. However, I must also add that if you look at the song outside the context of Twilight, it has a completely new meaning. If you were to listen to the song for the first time, and it was never used in the movie, you realise it is a song about heartache. This girl sings about this person, and his flaws and how much that hurt her. (“But you think that I can't see what kind of man that you are, if you're a man at all”) I figured their relationship survived many things — people around them could have suggested they do not suit each other, but they carried on anyway. Now they really broke up. She now sees that they were right all along, (“We've gone and made such fools off ourselves”) Nevertheless, there were good times, and she thought see knew him good. But he blindsided her. (“How can I decide what's right, when you're clouding up my mind? I can't win, you're losing fight all the time…” and “How did we get here? I used to know you so well…”) I figure he is some dark horse. He can’t make up his mind whether he loves her completely. She is hanging in there, hoping he will give his heart to her in the end. (“Not gonna ever own what's mine, when you're always taking sides, but you won't take away my pride. No, not this time…”) “Not this time” might mean they had their near break-up moments, but she took him back because she pitied him. She is trying her best to break free from him, but she is finding it tough seeing him. (“The truth is hiding in your eyes, and it's hanging on your tongue, just boiling in my blood...”) But she remains strong, listening to her head instead of her heart. She cares a lot about him though. She intends to spend time on her own to figure out how to move on. (“Well, I will figure this one out, on my own…”) All things considered, she still thinks there is something good in him. That she was not 100% wrong about him. There must have been some truthful moment that makes her think he’s not all bad. It couldn’t ALL have been a lie. (“There is something I see in you. It might kill me…I want it to be true”) Well, that’s what I feel when I listen to this song, because this happened to me. |
