Just to add to what people have said: when he goes 'These fucking eyes that I'm staring at' he sees this girl as being nothing but a tool to facilitating his addiction. 'Bring the cups baby I could bring the drink' 'Bring your body baby I could bring you fame' - trying to reason why she should get drunk with him and have sex 'Listen ma I'll give you all I got Get me off of this I need confidence in myself yeah yeah yeah oh yeah oh Listen ma I'll give you all of me Give me all of it I need all of it to myself' Hes telling her his flaws being honest in an attempt to get all of the drugs / trying to play the victim. Junkies usually try to be quite charismatic to get what they want. |

I think it’s about the fallout of emotions close to the end of a relationship / a recent break up. The jist of it is: “I didn't lose you In those fights i fought I don't owe anyone I've been sleeping all night” Is like a power statement, to justify to her and the world that he is still strong despite what’s happened (but really he’s not). “I was born in the morning I died at night” He’s strong during the day but he breaks down at night thinking about his what’s happened. “I was found in a mirror baby They couldn't get me out In these times time runs out It runs out” He’s saying to her that he knows he is a lost cause and that he found it difficult to express how he truly felt about her during the relationship. "Daydreams run along her Feelings are goners I've been sleeping” Now that it’s over he’s moved on but he thinks about her, sometimes he dreams about her. “Catch my meaning Once and for all I'm the ceiling I'm the wall You can't stand inside with me But the reverse of me is where you must be In truths place is lies The mistakes you try” He’s trying to say he feels trapped in who he is / depressed and he knows that if she was to be with him she would still be unhappy as she has tried in the past. “Someone must be sleeping because all is quiet Is there nothing in the mirror when you shut the light The dark The light The dark The light” He’s saying that without her he has nothing. |
