| Breaking Benjamin – The Diary of Jane Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
To me (I'm a girl), I think this song is about a guy who is in love with a girl- typical- but she doesn't feel the same way; she may possibly even hate him. In the beginning of the song, it's as if he's asking the girl he likes "I want to be with you, would you like that? I don't care if you say we won't last (and I don't mind if you say this love is the last time), so, do you like that?" And obviously, the girl says no. When the chorus comes around, he says 'Something's getting in the way, something's just about to break', it might mean that the girl has feelings for someone else, OR it's because the girl hates him so fiercely and because of this, the guy's heart is just about to break. 'I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane' means that the guy wants to find a place in the girl's life, even if she doesn't have feelings for him; he still wants to be a part of her life somehow. 'So tell me how it should be' is the boy asking the girl how he can be in her life. The rest of the lyrics are pretty obvious (maybe?), like he wants to know what the girl hates about him (try to find out what makes you tick/angry) and he's 'sore and sick' from thinking too much over her. 'There's a fine line between love and hate, and I don't mind, just let me say that I like that..' This might be the boy saying that even if the girl seems to 'hate' him, she might have mistaken that feeling as hatred and really, what she's feeling for him could be love. The boy doesn't mind that the girl's feelings are uncertain- in fact, he likes it (because it means he has a chance). The chorus repeats itself and as he says 'as I burn another page, as I look the other way, I STILL try to find MY place in the Diary of Jane', it explains that the girl still didn't allow him to be a part of her life so he tries to move on (he burns another page of her diary/life that he's not in and tries to look the other way/move on) but he can't, hence he STILL tries to find his place in her life. Next, the boy admits that he's become desperate and he's still waiting for the girl's love (desperate, I will crawl, waiting for so long)- however, there is 'no love', as the girl simply does not feel the same way. The guy is so desperate that he feels as if he could die for her (die for anyone). He then wonders what he has become. However, despite all this, in the end the guy is still searching for his place in the diary/life of his Jane Doe. This is just my interpretation anyway. ^^ |
