| The Boxer Rebellion – Diamonds Lyrics | 11 years ago |

I think the song is referring to him being with a girl who broke up with a 'soul mate' and tried to get over it with a one night stand (from shallow nonsense = fooling around). However it developed into a relationship when she started to feel a connection with him, partly to try and forget about the old lover (did you always want me to be something to mend a broken heart). The songwriter however couldn't compare to the ex lover, who meant everything to the girl (I'm no good next to diamonds..when I'm too close I start to fade). He is apologising for not being able to compare. However the other answers sound good too! |
