Being pansexual myself, eeyup, this is a wonderful interpretation. And my personal interpretation of one of the verses you didn't mention to accompany yours: THIS VERSE IS IN THE PAST TENSE, And it could be interpreted as the moment the narrator realized something was "off". "My face blew up at such a casual sight" - Becoming incredibly happy when you see a friend you love (as a friend, that is) of the same gender. Overly happy, at that. "The smattered colors of ecstatic fright"- That happiness you feel becomes "ecstatic fright", which is definitely the feeling you get when you see someone you have a crush on. "The rush above me to oblivion"-This "rush" happens as you recognize what you are feeling, recognize that you clearly aren't straight, and realize that you are quite suddenly heading "toward oblivion" - toward total alienation from most of your family. "Outlining wet sidewalks in halogen"- Describing how, in that moment, it seems as though everything just became a little brighter (love tends to do that), and bringing home the idea that this is a moment which will forever be highlighted in your memory (halogen is used in neon signs). Of course, sadly, people are probably right that the song was intended to be about drugs. Screw what the song's actually about! How about we allow it to have a decent, somewhat happy meaning, what the song SOUNDS like it should be? |
