Ok so, I'm just playing the devil's advocate here and suggesting an idea that hasn't been said yet, so don't hate on me, this song means a lot to me in another way. But here it goes... So this could be a story of a friend(girl) of the narrator, and how she is with a guy who doesn't love her but is using her for sex. It is killing her inside, and the narrator is trying to conivince the girl to stop. "The fear of Growing old and doing what your told." The girl is afraid of growing old, and doing what she's told. She fears growing up and not having someone, and being what everyone expects. She is being pressured into having sex. She is happy with who she is with, but she complains because that person wants her to give up herself to him. "If your life is so damn comfortable then why do you complain?" The person gets her drunk to make her more susceptible, but her pouring down the alcohol is a reflection to how she doesn't want to have sex with him. "A reflection in the alcohol your pouring down the drain." The narrator being a good friend of hers can tell that somethings wrong despite her trying to tell him that everything is ok. "Just because you paint a picture doesn't mean it fits the frame." He wants to help her and make her change her before it's too late, so he gets on a plane to the west coast, I think the band is from Virginia(not positive). "This is my west coast intervention and I'm getting on that plane." Her "mistakes", having sex with the guy, are keeping her awake. Literally keeping her awake, and metaphorically she is upset and losing sleep over it. "When all of your mistakes, are keeping you awake." After their intervention she is with the guy again, and it's getting late and he's trying to have sex with her again. She tries to stop him but she ends up giving in. The guy convinces her, so she does what she's told. She's forgetting what the narrator said to her in the intervention. "The sun is setting, and it's ending 'cause your letting it go forgetting everything you already know." The narrator says that because of this, it is changing her. "It'll end up changing you" In the chorus, the narrator says that she can't hide her heart break, that he can see through her fake smiles. He knows something is wrong. Her hurt is all about her staying with the guy and having sex with him. She's making her fears of growing old(without someone) and doing what she's told(having sex), are coming alive. "You can't disguise a heart while it's breaking. You hide behind the smile you're faking. It's all about the the chance you're taking. Oh, and you know that you're making it all come alive." Well in the end of it, the narrator is saying that life is short so embrace the good parts, forget all your mistakes and being with that guy because you can't do anything about it, so live your life and chase your dreams, and if you do that, you will be happy, your life will come alive. "Life flies by so you have to embrace it, forget the past because you can not erase it, so live the dream and learn to chase it. And when you can almost taste it, it's all come alive." So basically the girl is in a bad relationship, where the guy doesn't care about her, and is just using her for sex. She tells the narrator that everything is fine but he knows better, and he flies down to California of west coast, like the knight in shing armor to save her from her life and turn her life around. He talks to her and she says that she will end it, but she can't do it right away, she's moving to slow. She gives in to him again. The narrator says that if she does'nt do it soon it will change her, and he tells her that life is short, forget that guy and embrace life. That's the only way you will truly be alive. Just a theory. |
