I think this is about a person who has gone through a lot. People left them, their loved ones died. They may be depressed, they may just be hardened and have become desensitized to life's hardships, or at leat that's the mask they're trying to put on. And I think they do that for a new person that entered their life, a new person who they try not to get attached to, but fail. So their reaction to that is, they try hard to distance themselves by putting up the sharade of a soulless person and a, well, jerk ("And I'm just getting started, let me offend, the devil's got nothing on me, my friend"), but also try to warn their new friend to be careful not to be broken like they have been (practically the whole rest of the song). So, overall, an extremely relatable song and extremely sad, especially after you've thought some about it. |
