As a songwriter/performer I believe it is Chris's intention to make music that can touch a wide range of people. By not using names and being vague and general about the topic or issue of the song allows Chris to reach out to a wider demographic of people in various different situations. The songs meaning in turn can be interpreted in many different fashions and none of the different reasoning's would be considered incorrect because everyone see things differently. I believe that this song is a masterpiece because of the different interpretations you can take on the meaning of this song. It could be Chris talking about the frusterations with the papparazzi, troubles of a celebrity life, someone in a abusive relationship etc. This is my take on the song. "So you lost your trust And you never should have But you never should have" Lost your trust/faith in yourself because you are torn between two people. Feeling horrible because you know you have a hard decision to make in the near future which will involve emotionally hurting one person. Things were going fine but now you don't know what happened but you don't feel the same. You feel like you never should have lost those feelings in the first place. "But don't break your back If you ever see this But don't answer that" Don't stress yourself and break down, If you ever see this - when you discover YOUR meaning behind the song "In a bullet proof vest With the windows all closed" Bulletproof vest meaning Being hard/fine on the exterior and protecting your broken/torn/tormented heart on the inside. Wearing a vest to not get hurt anymore. With the windows all closed meaning not being able to talk to anyone about your situation or the inability to be able to allow someone to look into your "window" so that you they can see your soul and understand what is happening with you. "I'll be doing my best" Trying your best to hold it together. "I'll see you soon" The ever hopeful sounding I'll see you soon. Everything is better when your with that someone. "In a telescope lens And when all you want is friends" Telescope lens meaning longing to be with someone but can't right now, so just watching from a distance/being just friends when you want more And when all you want is to be able to talk to someone about this. "So they came for you They came snapping at your heels They come snapping at your heels But don't break your back" Due to being so tormented on the inside it starts to show on the outside a little and they start asking you what is wrong. But because its not the right time to tell them, you tell her nothing is wrong hiding the truth. Don't stress yourself out/break your back and be fair and end it with them so that you can be happy. "And oh, you lost your trust And oh, you lost your trust No, don't lose your trust And oh, you lost your trust" Keep your head up and don't loose faith in yourself. People can bash or disagree or the fact is, there is no right and wrong. |
