The Dillinger Escape Plan – Widower Lyrics 14 years ago
I'm pretty sure it's "crow by the day". He's not sure how to keep a relationship alive that's determined to die a little more each day.

Silverchair – Miss You Love Lyrics 14 years ago
To me it is about: Someone with a very negative outlook on love and is a little emotionally dead/apathetic. Basically, someone that doesn't believe in love really, because it is just so overused. He'll engage in sexual relationships, but he doesn't love his partners.

"Millionaire say
Got a big shot deal
And thrown it all away but"

People say he has something good going for him, but he doesn't want it (possibly a relationship/love interest).

"But I'm not too sure
How I'm supposed to feel
Or what I'm supposed to say"

He doesn't know what people expect from him in this situation. Going with the love idea, he's not interested in love. He rejects the idea, so what do they want him to say or feel?

"But I'm not, not sure,
Not too sure how it feels
To handle every day"

Sounds lost in himself, or doesn’t know how to carry on a relationship everyday.

"And I miss you love"

Love as in the emotion, I assume. I always took it as he missed either the idea of love (before it became overused and dramatic) or his own ability to love another person. Also sounds like "and I misuse love" sometimes, which also makes sense.

"Make room for the prey
'cause I'm coming in
With what I wanna say but
It's gonna hurt"

He's not going to hold back at all when he explains his feelings or lack thereof. He doesn't really care.

"And I love the pain
A breeding ground for hate but..."

A little twisted. He likes causing others emotional pain, possibly because he can't feel it himself, being so apathetic. They'll hate him for it, but oh well. What does he care?

"In the crowds of all the people"

Either loneliness or he just feels lost. Possibly because most people carry out "normal" relationships, and he just doesn't care about love- he’s given up on it.

"Remember today
I've no respect for you"

Essentially: I don't care about you. Directed towards a love interest or just love itself.

"I love the you love
But I hate the way
I'm supposed to love you back"

He likes the feeling of being loved, possibly someone's idea of love, or being made love to, but he doesn't want to have to reciprocate those feelings.

"It's just a fad
Part of the teenage angst brigade and"

Love's just a fad in high school. It doesn't mean anything.
