To me, in the song, the singer is in love with someone but the singer isn't someone who's very affectionate or is not very good at showing affection. The singer is someone who gets all the comfort bu tcan't give it back or only gives back in the form of sex. "Sucker love is heaven sent. You pucker up, our passion's spent. My hearts a tart, your body's rent. My body's broken, yours is bent." Refers to the love as "sucker love" because he feels that it's not real because he can't return it. ~Here the singer says that he's someone who's "broken" or in trouble and that he wants to be fixed. "Carve your name into my arm. Instead of stressed, I lie here charmed. Cuz there's nothing else to do, Every me and every you." The singer says that he takes all the pain he has but doesn;t worry because he has someone who will fix it no matter what (because there's nothing else to do.) Sucker love, a box I choose. No other box I choose to use. Another love I would abuse, No circumstances could excuse. He convinces himself that he has to act the way he does and that he only acts the way he does to his lover because they're the person who said they'd be there In the shape of things to come. Too much poison come undone. Cuz there's nothing else to do, Every me and every you. The relationship wont last because the comfore the lover offers or "poison" will disappear, i.e. the lover will no longer want to care because they recieve nothing in return Sucker love is known to swing. Prone to cling and waste these things. Pucker up for heavens sake. There's never been so much at stake. The lover feels that the love makes them react in negative ways they become "clingy", they cheat "swing" and s/he feels as though they "waste" the love on the singer. The singer, in return, tries to make it up theonly way he feels comfortable with: sex. I serve my head up on a plate. It's only comfort, calling late. Cuz there's nothing else to do, Every me and every you. Every me and every you, The singer thinks that if he opens up and shows affection to this person that he will get hurt. The "comfort calling late" could refer to his difficulty with comforting the person he loves because of his fear of being vulnerable. Like the naked leads the blind. I know I'm selfish, I'm unkind. Sucker love I always find, Someone to bruise and leave behind. The singer is aware of how horrible what he is doing is but he can't help himself. Third line hints that this has happened many times before. All alone in space and time. There's nothing here but what here's here's mine. Something borrowed, something blue. Every me and every you. Ultimately he know that he'll end up alone. He'll have nothing and that what he'll have to find comfort in " but What here's mine" |

I think this song is about moving from one life to another, as in, getting tired of an unhappy life and changing to a better one. In this song I think it's someone talking to themselves or their conscience. "Come into my life Regress into a dream" The person is looking at the life they have and seeing the misery and sorrow. They want to change and forget about the bad stuff. "We will hide Build a new reality" The person wants to hide from the misery of the past life and build a newer, better life. "Draw another picture Of the life you could have had" The person is thinking over and over again about what would happen if they stayed the way they are, i.e. "the life they could have had" if they don't change. "Follow your instincts And choose the other path" As opposed to doing what they normally would, the person is telling them to do the opposite to do the more moral or the better thing to do. "You should never be afraid You're protected from trouble and pain Why, why is this a crisis in your eyes again" This bit is like the conscience telling him that he has nothing to fear and that good will come of his change, possibly because he can't sink any lower or it can't get any worse (protected from trouble and pain, i.e. because it's so bad it can't get any worse. the hardship protects him from anything more horrible happening.) His conscience also asks him why it's such a big deal for him to change if only good can some of it. "Taught to be How did it come to be Tied to a railroad" The person is saying that he was made to be like this but that he didnt think it would be so bad for him at a later stage. "You'll have to set us free Watch our souls fade away Let our bodies crumble away" The person is asking his conscience for help in changing himself and fixing what he did wrong, because he thinks it might destroy him to do it. "Don't be afraid I will take the cold for you" The conscience renforces the fact that he should worry about what will happen because it can only get better and that he will help the person by "talking the cold" or helping him make the tough decisions that he needs to make. "And i've had recurring nightmares That I was loved for who I am And missed the opportunity To be a better man" This is my favourite part of the song. I think it means that while the person wants to change and that he hated what he is and what way his life was, he wouldn't change what HAD happened because he knows now that he'll be a "better man" for it. |
