#1 Fan

General CommentNot quite, Maddendog, it isn;t referring to a stalker. Ironically Voltaire has one very special stalker who goes to most of his cocnerts and sometimes voltaire likes to sing to him.
Anyhow, the song is spoken somwaht along these lines because it is referring to someone who loves someone else but knows that they are never good enough for them, because of their past and what it has made them as well as because they see the one they love as the greatest of people. They love them and shall nevev love any other and when they are finally faced with the chance to speak to them they freeze and can't tell them how they feel.

General CommentI like Dullahan's interpretation, it helped me to think about this song in a different light. But I think that "#1 Fan" could also be about a fan of a celebrity.

In the lyrics "Corner cafe, random meeting // Is that really you there? // Scrape me off the ceiling // I've waited my whole life for this day // Now I don't know what to say" it seems like the fan sees the person he adores for the first time (hence saying "I've waited my whole life for this day"). I mean, if he is really a stalker of someone he knows personally, he could easily see them every day.

Also, the lines "I've been here since last night at nine // I was the first in the line" sounds just like a fan going to a concert of a singer he adores, and he waits all night in front of the entrance, just to be the first in the line.

To conclude, I think this song can be interpreted in both ways. When I read the lyrics for the first time, it instantly reminded me of how I feel about some celebrities. Every line of the song depicts perfectly how I feel (just listening to a song by that celebrity makes me feel like everything will be OK; he is so great, I am so plain, etc.).
But also the lyrics fit well with feelings of a person being desperately in love with someone, seeing her/him as "the sea and the sky" and feeling like they'll never be good enough for the one they adore.

General CommentWaaaaa... So sad. =( I almost cry at the last part of this song. Voltaire has such a beautiful and sad voice at times. *sniff*

General Commentthere aren't enough comments here :(

Pretty basic meaning, its that one fan thats a stalker. Obsessively they know everything about that celebrity, and that celebrity knows nothing about them.

General CommentI agree with Dullahan. It's about being obsessively in love with someone and FEELING like a stalker, i think. I get the impression that it's maybe about seeing someone after they've broken up with you and you've realised how much you like them... i don't know..
