I know these things are open to interpretation. Personally, I've never heard this song as an inner-dialogue. The way I hear it, the singer is in some sort of downward spiral of depression and self-destruction. He has a companion who cares about him and who is trying to save him, but he is really beyond help. He is trying to tell his companion to let him go so he does not drag his companion down with him. The optimism, I think, is the companion feeling the relief of breaking free from a destructive relationship. I know that's not very optimistic, but that's what I hear. And hey: there's always something satisfying about announcing to the world that you're "way past caring." |
