I think this song is about the pressures of late high school, the feeling of being left out but knowing you are probably on the right track. "sixteen six six six like the pentagon" being sixteen is like being in hell? "wonder what your boyfriend thinks about your braces" the juxtaposition between "we never see" and "what about them" - popular opinion vs. the protaganists opinion? "we are the river flow and you can never know you're just a weatherman we make the wind blow" You may be talking trash now but the protaganist knows whats up, and isn't that worried about their future path Also the whole ring ring refrain tends to indicate that the protaginist knows something more than the others. odk thats what i get out of it |

Given the last few posts above this is my interpretation of the song: Part 1 documents a typical "crush" situatiion. the french bit means "good evening regret, i'll see you tomorrow" meaning we live with our regrets. The second part juxtaposes a popular media event (white witness moves to petition the state of virginia for 27 prisons*) with something that may not be as popular but have greater ramifications(ie the merger of lockheed & Martin Marietta) The final portion seems to link the two previous thoughts in saying; when we dont have much time we may focus on the popular/trivial issue (Ie the things that make 'you' like me) and ignore the things that have greater ramifications and will be regretted in the future (Ie the merger of two companies that ill go on to create war machines). i don't know just an idea. *A google search makes me think this relates to the allen proposal to abolish parole rather than deal with crime in a proactive way.
