I see this song in a very simple manner. It's about a man who fell in love and/or was in a relationship.He sees his girlfriend as someone different, from the dream which I thought is the relationship. When you're in love, you see your love as this beautiful magnificent being, the songwriter (Damian) saw this but was awaken from the "dream" hence the term, "You were beautiful." The second part was mainly describing the girl, saying she seemed to loved everyone, yet also be uncaring or unimpressed to some, a trait the songwriter greatly value. Then it moves to how the songwriter acted during the relationship, trying to hand and talking too much, this may be the reason the relationship ended. The third part is about how she meant to the songwriter. How great the relationship was and how she is the answer to him. Half of this part isn't on past tense, which may mean that he still holds some feeling about her. The fourth and fifth part, in my opinion, may be about the later part of the relationship. He may feel that he doesn't deserve being with her and that the relationship was a mistake, as how an inmate who is in a prison by mistake. Then he asks the girl about considering the relationship and she answers saying love is all we got and that we should still believe in it. This is my opinion of this song, there are some parts that may be wrong, and I can't really decipher what the title really means. But there are no misinterpretations really. Music is interpreted by the listeners. It will always be different depending on how each and every one of us sees it. Whether it is a simple song about love, or a deeply arranged metaphor about life. Music is all about how wee see it. It's half of the fun really, dechipering the lyrics and finding out what it means to us. That's mainly the reason musicians don't directly tell us what the song is about in my opinion, and how the can arrange it in such a way that it can be interpreted in many ways. |
