This song might have a lover's subtext but it's truly about graffiti.. and a bit more. It's about a protagonist who's feeling the thrill of graffiti but in a broader social context such as "culture jamming". The graffitiist is using their heartfelt art as a tool to counter the decadent and oppressive society in which they live. If you read closely, you'll notice the verses are about the protagonist noticing the graffiti more and more around them, the chorus is the protagonist's philosophy of graffiti, and the bridge is the act of them partaking in the art themselves, worried about the police turning up but feeling like they've truly expressed themselves. Voila! |

For me it's about rebounding. He's hating her but remembering the good times, and then loving her, and then remembering the pain and the reasons they broke up so hating her again. At the end he resolves and says that the bad parts about her will remain forever and then concludes 'it's so good to be in love again', because he's temporarily found a way to keep the feeling of being in love but with someone who doesn't have all those bad parts - a new rebound girl. |
