I think you can interpret this song on two levels; of course it may be just be a dedication to his stressful and depressing job in a Hospital, or the act of working within this symbolic "hospital" acts as a metaphor for his life. If you are tempted to go along with this interpretation, as i am, you only have to look to the first line for justification; <> With this line the speaker's basically implying that his job is to fix "peoples' heart", i.e helping his friends with their romantic issues and heartbreak. His problem though is that his heart's "not in it"; he's not plagued by heartbreak but by the fact he actually has no-one to get close to, therefore he's not in a posistion to love someone, let alone have his heart broken. This idea is backed up by the later line < Right, so far we have a picture of a lonely man, who spends most of his time sorting out the relationship problems of his mates, while he himself has nothing to love, let alone fix. However the speaker seems to rely on his role as he decribes it as his "oxygen"; he needs this indirect contact with romance to survive as his love-life is so barren Anyway this is just my A-level English slant on some lyrics which, tbh, could have a number of meanings but i think the main thing is that Hospital is a brilliant song, regardless of what deeper meaning(if any) you take from the words. |
