well.. i feel like i should put in my two cents. Even though it doesn't matter if i'm right or wrong. BUT, This is how i take this song: First of all he is talking about himself in the song. When he talks about the "you're" he isn't talking about anyone in specific. In the first part of the song when he says "Hey, Haven't seen you around in a while" he is talking about the "depression" he is having. I put quotations on depression because i believe depression is something different than what popular opinion believes. It's a numb, emotionless feeling. You're emotions are depressed. So when he says "I didn't feel angry or depressed" he's saying he's not here or there, he's not up or down, he stuck in a blank middle.. positive negative positive negative. also, he could be anxious and he doesn't know why? The feeling of "I should be doing something.. but i don't know what or i'm not interested enough". He's bored and disappointed with life. The lyrics "When you're living your life, well, that's the price you pay Whenever I breathe out, you're breathing it in Whenever I speak out, you're speaking out" I interpret that as "There's not much to this existence. I do the same shit, you do the same shit. I'm breathing it out and you're breathing it in. I'm speaking out but so are you. I'm not significant and neither are you." whew! done. I hope someone has the patience to read this and tell me what they think. |
