When I first discovered this song, I literally listened to it 25 times in a few days. I love this song for the sound of it, Dido's voice and the lyrics. This song is about someone who is maybe a little type A personality caught up in their knowledge of politics but they find someone who makes them forget all the things that make them worried about the state of the world. The best part, and what makes this song very realistic, is this line: 'Bout a month ago I'd never seen your faceI'd never heard your voice 'Bout a month ago I am a careful hunter And I had to searchBefore I found your love 'Bout a month ago The reason why is b/c it's only in the beginning of the relationship where someone mesmerizes you and makes you forget your problems, after a while the relationship and it's ensuing difficulties tend to become part of your problems. It's just not realistic or even healthy to be so infatuated with someone who makes you forget everything, like they are a drug. It's only exciting like this in the beginning. Then the relationship after a while settles into the familiar. She's known him for only a month at this point. |

I think the key to this song lies with this lyric: "Oh you know it's just a game to me" There are some ancient religions who view life as a game. So this seemingly unholy view of the world is actual spiritual in nature which is why he's says he's got too much soul for the world. How he plays the game is he stays light and tells people what they want to hear adhering to the path of least resistance "I do anything that I'm told to I even mean it, if i'm supposed to" ...but he knows the truth: "It's time to use my life, for myself, Those people just won't tell you that" "But I can't even talk to you 'bout my effect on people 'cause i'm doin' the same thing to you That's right even right now" This is a great line where he tries to see if other people will understand him but of course people won't. This song is awesome. |
