A turning tide
Lovers at a great divide
Why d'you laugh
When I know that you hurt inside?
And why'd you say
It's just another day, nothing in my way
I don't wanna go, I don't wanna stay
So there's nothing left to say
And why'd you lie
When you wanna die, when you hurt inside
Don't know what you lie for anyway
Now there's nothing left to say
A tell-tale sign
You don't know where to draw the line
And why'd you say
It's just another day, nothing in my way
I don't wanna go, I don't wanna stay
So there's nothing left to say
And why'd you lie
When you wanna die, when you hurt inside
Don't know what you lie for anyway
Now there's nothing left to say
Well for a lonely soul, you're having such a nice time
For a lonely soul, you're having such a nice time
For a lonely soul, it seems to me that you're having such a nice time
You're having such a nice time
For a lonely soul, you're having such a nice time
For a lonely soul, you're having such a nice time
For a lonely soul, it seems to me that you're having such a nice time
You're having such a nice time
Lovers at a great divide
Why d'you laugh
When I know that you hurt inside?
And why'd you say
It's just another day, nothing in my way
I don't wanna go, I don't wanna stay
So there's nothing left to say
And why'd you lie
When you wanna die, when you hurt inside
Don't know what you lie for anyway
Now there's nothing left to say
A tell-tale sign
You don't know where to draw the line
And why'd you say
It's just another day, nothing in my way
I don't wanna go, I don't wanna stay
So there's nothing left to say
And why'd you lie
When you wanna die, when you hurt inside
Don't know what you lie for anyway
Now there's nothing left to say
Well for a lonely soul, you're having such a nice time
For a lonely soul, you're having such a nice time
For a lonely soul, it seems to me that you're having such a nice time
You're having such a nice time
For a lonely soul, you're having such a nice time
For a lonely soul, you're having such a nice time
For a lonely soul, it seems to me that you're having such a nice time
You're having such a nice time

this type of song is one of that ones.. that you can put on repeat mode without getting tired of listening.
to me it feels like they are feelings of hopelessness and not knowing what do do. feeling paralized in like
A turning tide > everything changed
Lovers at a great divide > we broke up
Why'd you lie > she told me she was better off without me
When I know that you hurt inside? > however when we met and she told me this, she was pouring tears while i wasnt, cos i knew she was making stufff up just to leave me.
Then there was the classic "lets be friends" she threw at me, but even then she wouldnt care bout me anymore, so i felt like "I don't wanna go, I don't wanna stay / ... / When you wanna die, when you hurt inside"
Then:
Don't know what you lie for anyway
Now there's nothing left to say > she was pretending we could be friends but in fact we couldnt talk to eachother in a normal manner anymore.
Then the last part,
Well for a lonely soul, you're having such a nice time
For a lonely soul, you're having such a nice time
has a totally ironic or sarcastic tone to me, cos she used to tell me she wouldnt be able to forget me soon, she'd stay alone for a long time, while in fact one month after she left me she was already with someone else.
Thats my interpretation-
Sounds like he's accusing his partner of lying to him and for just generally messing up in the relationship
when you wanna die, when you hurt inside
don't know what you lie for anyway."
speaks a lot more than the literal interpretation doesn't it?
Why do you laugh
When I know you hurt inside?
it is a catchy song, likely to be a single, they are spoilt for choice single wise on this album! i can see this one being amazing on the festival scene!
as for the song, the relationship is on the decline, the lovers have come to the point where they have to decide whether to carry on together, or to their own seperate ways! as a result, the lonely sole bit, could either mean that she has no feelings for him, and is taking him for a ride, just having fun and not reall caring!
however it could be the spiteful thing someone would say if you just break up with someone and then u see them out with another bloke, acting as if you were never part of your life!
i think! lol
