its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
By now you may have noticed the dry taste of the wine
but you don't say a word just because
(well, that's why they told you to keep your mouth shut)
By now you may have realized that things aren't the same
but of course, what did you expect?
(A little late, my dear)
You know that
those ocean blue eyes would never tell the truth again
but you keep on taking, keep on taking
the life you live will never have the same effect on anyone, ever again
the nature of this program isn't quite as it seems
not quite as graphic as first thought out to be
some portions of this program have been altered quite drastically
and they do affect the outcome just a little bit (well quite the opposite!)
Let's go to the beginning where it all may have started
of this no one is sure because it's so outdated
Let's go back to the beginning because that's where it all began
the lipstick smeared across the walls oh so artistically
You know that
the words you say will be recorded on a small cassette
yet you continue, you continue to speak blasphemy
Is it just need for attention
or maybe just fear
we'll never, we'll never know, because...
the nature of this program isn't quite as it seems
not quite as graphic as first thought out to be
some portions of this program have been altered quite drastically
and they do affect the outcome just a little bit (well quite the opposite!)
the nature of this program isn't quite as it seems
not quite as graphic as first thought out to be
some portions of this program have been altered quite drastically
and they do affect the outcome just a little bit (well quite the opposite!)
Is this what you were expecting, darling
A gunshot heard throughout the night with your name on it?
Is this not what you were expecting
The cameras flashing, flashing, flashing
The cameras flashing, flashing, flashing
The cameras flashing, flashing, flashing
the nature of this program isn't quite as it seems
not quite as graphic as first thought out to be
some portions of this program have been altered quite drastically
and they do affect the outcome just a little bit (well quite the opposite!)

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
I don't think this is real. The lyrics are too long and drawn out to even be a song. It sounds nothing at all like Ryan's writing, and quite frankly, it's not that great. It's easy to submit fake lyrics, you know.
