I'm going to pitch a different take on this song. I believe this song is about two people in separate long relationships that are about to cheat on their partners with each other. She said "I'll throw myself away, They're just photos after all" This is her lying to herself. In her mind, in the moment, she convinces herself that she can cheat on her partner, and it's no big deal. "I can't make you hang around. I can't wash you off my skin." He's forfeiting choice, I'm not entirely at fault, I'm not making you stay here. But I can't get the thoughts of you out of my head, and if you stay we both know what will happen. "Outside the frame, is what we're leaving out. You won't remember anyway" Outside the happy parts presented to everyone else, we actually aren't that happy in our relationships. We won't be stuck thinking about them when this is happening. "I can go with the flow" There is something real here right now, and I'm open to it. "Do you believe it in your head" Do you feel this way too? "It's so safe to play along. Little soldiers in a row. Falling in and out of love. With something sweet to throw away" Some people are okay with experiencing love the old fashioned way, dating, relationships, heartbreak. Inevitably old relationships don't matter, they are just a sweet memory. "But I want something good to die for. To make it beautiful to live. I want a new mistake, lose is more than hesitate." I don't wan't to be that old fashioned person. I want to experience something real in my life. Even if it means doing something bad, I want to be able to actually look back on doing something crazy just once in my life. |
