thats pretty interesting because to me the chorus to this song is the kind of mental nonsense a person uses to distract themselves from the craziness of their lives. i cant say it as well as adam did but that is what i get from the song and, now that ive read his comments, i dont think im far off the mark. we all have coping mechanisms.
hysterical fits of laughter,for example, is often a mask for something worthy of being very afraid of if it were ever brought to the surface. thats what adams doing here, to me. "My life is a crazy contradiction and i ignore that with this silly rhyme" |

For me this has always been a song Adam is singing to himself about himself. He doesnt mention another gender till near the end. to me ive always taken that to be another indication of his alienation from everyone in his life..a fairly common theme for him. he's dwelling, in the song, on ending it all, or giving up in the face of the pressures of his life, of falling down, of falling asleep and remaining in that dream world of nothingness and everything...where he can still feel and be free. |
