Walls

hahaha is this song about sex? wow typical all time low

Def does seem like it's about Lisa.

I'm happy if he's happy. Though I lust him.

... haha.

this song is so cute! i think it is about lisa. @xxmodernlove i think we all kinda lust alex a bit!

the lyrics make a lot of sense of what we know about their relationship.

i was afraid of the techno feel at the beginning part but the guitar just made me so happy my heart skipped when it came in =]

Well, when I first heard this song, I thought it was solely about sex. But I listened to it a little bit with earbleed until 0:19.

I realized it was keeping a up close, personal relationship with somebody. More intimate, more emotional. I was scared this would be pop crap.

This is my favorite on the new album. :]

I think this might be about an old relationship...

it sounds like it's about a past relationship where he broke the girls heart and just got into the whole relationship for sex because he wasn't mature enough to handle something more and now he wants something more and he realizes this one girl was the only one who he ever truly love.

reminds me of ghosts of girlfriends past. xD haha.

woo all time low <3

quite obviously about alex's girlfriend, lisa

Hey there, it's good to see you again It never felt right, calling this just friends I'm happy if you're happy with yourself

earlier on, they were on again/off again and it was an open relationship

Take off your shirt, your shoes Those skinny jeans I bought for you We're diving in There's nothing left to lose

this part seems like he's talking about when they decided to be together for real instead of open and they're diving into a relationship the taking off clothes part seems to add to the "diving" metaphor, like they're representing her inhibitions

I'm gonna break down these walls (Down these walls) I built around myself I wanna fall so in love (So in love) With you and no one else Could ever mean half as much To me as you do now

he wants to break down the walls he'd built up around his heart and finally let her in, so she's the only one, instead of the girls he'd been with before

Together we'll move on Just don't turn around Let the walls break down

he wants to move on from the open relationship, and he doesn't want to go back to what it was like before

I used to wear you like a ball and chain I'd run and hide at the call of my name It was obvious You were too much for me Oblivious I was young and horny

before, he felt like he was weighted down by her. he was "young and horny" and just wanted sex and not love

In retrospect, I wouldn't do it again Stop talking shit to every one of your friends I'm not the same boy you knew back then

looking back, he wouldn't have been in the open relationship or been a manwhore. she would tell all of her friends about that, but he's assuring her he's changed

I can't breathe My body's shaking You got a way With the way you take me 'Cause you break me down You know you break me down

this is the only part that i think is about sex (other than the young and horny bit), but it can also be taken as the way she makes him feel and how much he loves her; she breaks down his walls

Love, love, love this song to pieces.

-tear it up

I think that this part

I can't breathe My body's shaking You got a way With the way you take me 'Cause you break me down You know you break me down

Is not about sex. I think it is about the way that the person might make him feel, not even in a sexual way. I think that Alex is trying to say that the person can control him or "Break him down". Thats just my opinion though because thats the way I look at it
