My personal belief is that the song is about the monologue of Love. The speaker of the song is Love itself which asserts what it believes must be happening to the listener. 1. Losing trust - phase one The listener, whoever that may be, appears to have lost trust that he/she will ever find love, possibly due to the long delay. Love is trying to assert that it has not "forgot" about the listener: So you lost your trust And you never should have 2. Taking cover from love - phase two The listener, cloyed by the waiting and finally resigned to the thought that he/she will never find love, is trying to actively protect himself/herself by avoiding any real life situation that might bring back the hurt and disappointment in love. Love, once again, is two steps ahead and asserts that no matter how hard you try to hide from me i will see you and find you eventually, at the right time so please don't lose trust: In a bullet proof vest With the windows all closed I'll be doing my best I'll see you soon 3. Changing goals and sublimating - phase three The listener, now fully resigned to the idea that love, ever so desired, hasn't yet arrived, is trying to cope with the aftermath - it sets lower goals in personal relationships ("just friends"), all the while sublimating the need for intimate affection and affiliation with the love of friends: In a telescope lens And when all you want is friends I see you soon The last three lines might also be a hint from Love that it will arrive and find the listener exactly when he/she expects less, exactly when the trust has been lost and any hope vanished. |
