He was with a girl "shooting star". She cared more about making the scene, getting herself seen in society, being popular, you know basically being "cool" within a certain scene. She is going to be with some guy because he is a "trophy boy", he has had some successes of some sort, but if he had just come up to her in the bar she would have denied him because he was likely not her type, but I mean if you know he's had success well then ofcourse you'd fuck him because well, thats what women often do. But, this women is never satisfied and eventually she will even make this poor fool sad, she will hurt him too. Just like she did to himself. When he was with this shooting star he had dreams of a future together and he feels lucky that he didnt say them outloud because it would have been for a waste, well because obviously she never really gave a fuck, she only cares about herself. Her love is sad. It only lasts briefly and ends without giving a shit for the person she was with, she only cares about her needs and what benefits her and her place within the "scene", society, etc. |

But, I do find the beginning lyrics mean, like when you look at a picture of you and a significant other. He wants to burn the picture and then erase time, ie erase the past from ever having happened. That is what I have always thought that lyric meant. I also think the lyric is "cut this picture into you and me, burn it backwards kill this history" .. and when he cuts the picture, separating two people.. separating the tie that he had with someone. then burning the past, erasing the past, removing the history with someone having ever happened. |

"waiting for sedation to disconnect my head"
well, when the chorus starts it honestly feels like a sedation disconnecting my head. I love this song and always will. |
