|
This song is about an actual moment in his relationship with the girl where he's going through her dress drawer and his thoughts on the relationship. The needle and the thread means that he has tried leading and/or following her lead, but it all ends up confusing her instead, the push/pull of a relationship. He wants to laugh but cries because she can fix this all just by saying "I love you" but because she doesn't, it seems more likely she would say "let's break up" instead. Fumbling through her dresser drawer and forgetting what's he is looking for, is probably a situation where they were arguing about something missing, which became a bigger arguement because of their bad relationship, they both realise this in the moment and reflect on it. I'm lifting you up, letting you down.. etc. Are things she said to him, contradicting lines that echoes in his, her insecurities assuming he is out clubbing and seeing other girls. "This is not goodbye", "it's just time for me to rest my head" is what she says to him when he started crying in the beginning. He then remembers the bitter sweet memory of their relationship, her running down the jagged street. The timeline: - They argue about something small that escalated due to their bad relationship. - He gets angry, but holds it in and hears her cry in the background. - (Inferred they have a serious conversation about their relationship.) - She concludes by telling him "this is not goodbye" "it is just time for me to rest my head" -(he reflects on everything that has lead to this point, from the sweet beginning of her running to his bed to the bad breakup.) -He thinks about how he tried everything, needle and the thread. -he thinks about all the contradicting things she said he does, (I'm lifting you up, letting you down, etc) and asks to leave the city. - he has done everything, but he cannot leave the city. End of timeline. |
