I think it's pretty much about virginity. She's ready to be deflowered and has waited for too long. Might be because of parents' pressure or whatever, but she is basically feeling really aroused and ready to have sex for the first time. She's eager for it, and demanding a position from the guy she's talking to. Either that, or just aroused in general. As a feminist, it's also about not caring about what society says about girls: that they should wait for the man to approach them, and can't take the first step. In this song she's defying this social concept by actively telling him that she wants to have it, and she wants now. |

After reading lots of different interpretations and coming across a comment on the youtube video which said "atheist <3", I started to analyze this song and came to a conclusion: The lyrics are about questioning your beliefs in god, religion, faith, etc. Weird? Let me put it down in words. Here it goes: "And I'm not sleeping now The dark is too hard to beat" I myself went through this questioning of faith (I'm an atheist since I was 12) and felt completely scared when I started to realize that, since there's no god and no angels out there to help us, the world looks much more unsafe. So, basically, she's scared because of this shock. "And I'm not keeping up The strength I need to push me" The strenght that she needs to push her = God. She's letting go of the belief that there is a god with her all the time. So, now, it's just herself in the world. "You show the lights that stop me turn to stone You shine it when I'm alone And so I tell myself that I'll be strong And dreaming when they're gone" This is pretty epic. The one who shows her the lights is the religion, or god itself. The light is the belief and the comfort that it brings to one, and it shines when she's alone because it's when people are alone and scared that their beliefs get to their strongest. But she tells herself that she'll be strong when they (the lights / beliefs) are gone. Basically she wants to stay strong and keep dreaming after she completely accepts the non-existance of god, and she knows this is a very hard thing to do. "'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home Calling, calling, calling home" The beliefs are still very appealing for her since they bring comfort (thus the analogy with home), so she is still struggling to let them go and accept her disbelief. "Noises, I play within my head Touch my own skin and hope that I'm still breathing" The noises might be her prayers, or just these hard thoughts that she's going through right now. She touches herself to feel that she's real, and letting go of her faith won't 'kill her', metaphorically speaking. "And I think back to when my brother and my sister slept In an unlocked place the only time I feel safe" Isn't it obvious? I don't understand how most people haven't got it this way: My brother and sister slept in an unlocked place = Adam and Eve living in Eden. She thinks back to when she believed in every single story of the bible, of the religion, and she remembers how safe she used to feel for believing them. She was naive, and it is very comfortable to be naive to some things. |

Ok I know this was posted a long time ago, but I registered here just to reply to this. The last part of this song is exactly about doing something risky and / or dying young. Many legends have died at the age of 27 for various reasons, and the first time I heard this song I got seriously scared that she could be planning her own death. "like a pheonix so you can remind them of the dream I bore" Isn't it an explicit martyr line? Yes, it still gives me the chills when I stop to think of it. I hope I'm wrong about all of this, but I can't help considering it. |
