Something

Good breakup song. It has a killer ending. Everything builds up at the end perfectly. What I'm getting from it, a relationship breaking down. In the most horrible, heart-wrenching way: they start drifting away.

wow this is an incredible song. I think he sees the girl starting to drift away from him, instead of both of them. He is questioning the relationship, asking if this is love, the way she is acting? Since he sees her drifting away, he's doing what he can to pull her back, but he wants her to leave before she hurts him anymore.

yes, Redlight i agree completely. he just doesn't want to get hurt anymore, but at the same time I think as much they are pulling apart, he really wants her back. He wants things to be like they use to.

EVERYONE KNOWS THAT THINGS DON'T WORK OUT PERFECTLY...EVER.

I don't get a breakup from these words. I get that the person it's sung at is falling apart and taking them with her instead of taking a step back and realising she's a mental case. He's just saying he's still there for her.

two people were together and in love the girl is ending it and taking back everything she did.. making him believe it wasnt real and he is confirming to himself that their love was real.. because its something you can't fake.. and when you feel it.. it is there he knows this.. and he is heartbroken.. he can't even bare to look at her because it hurts so much

Great song. Here is my break down. I also believe it is about a relationship between two people.

Verse 1: And you think you're alone as if I wasn't there You’re losing your faith in me It’s a car, it's a crash, it's a death, and you're scared You just can't escape the scene

He can tell that she is feeling distant, and she thinks he isn't there for her anymore. This is horrible to him, it's a crash, a death. She's scared on how she feels, but she can't get out of the mind set.

Bridge: Hush now you're insane Touch my skin, come back again The sky is falling

He is telling her to hush her fears. It is insane to believe it. Touch him again, and she'll see he is there for her. The sky is falling because because to him it is like the world is ending.

Chorus: It’s something you cannot fake This something you will not shake Just walk away before I look at you It’s something only you can take

"It" to me is the feeling they both have. The feeling of love or some other unexplainable emotion. The feeling you can't get rid of, and whenever she is near him all the feelings come back. That is why he wants her to look away, so it is easier if they part ways. The feeling is only something she can bring and take away.

Verse 2: All your words, it's a lie to yourself, it's a home There’s so much that you can't see It’s a bomb that can kill everyone, and it blows You can't even hear me scream

All the things she is saying to herself isn't true. She is lying to herself, but she's been thinking of it so long that it feels like home. All of the lies she is blinded by, she can't see the truth. Her blindness to the real feelings is something that can end the relationship. She won't even be able to hear his side or scream.

Verse 3: This is only feeling with no thought Is this love? What happened to the promises I bought? Is this love?

This is the culmination of his feelings. He is only thinking of what he feels without analyzing it. He questions if the feeling is love. The "promises" aren't bought with money. It is bought with the time and emotion he invested in the relationship.

This is how I see the song. Comments?

can anyone tell me what he implies when he says 'ur insane'? like is he saying that ur ideas of our love are wrong/deluded? and u need to come back...to our love...cuz its real..awwww...sniff...i am in the same situation...sniff :(
