The One I Love

I think this is about Gavin\'s ex-boyfriend Pete Robinson (aka Marilyn), or just about another ex-male lover. Gavin is essentially calling himself out for allowing internalized homo/biphobia to cause him to act this way...\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n"A simple prop to occupy my time" is Gavin discounting how important this person is to them. \r\n\r\n <br />\r\n\r\nFire can be associated with sexuality but also homosexuality (flaming homosexual, the "sun" will "come out") \r\n\r\n\r\nFinally, "so far away from home and I feel fine" is his cognitive dissonance because this person felt like home... if he is fine it\'s really Fearful, Insecure, Neurotic, Emotional. \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWon\'t post...

After their divorce he admitted they were boyfriends/lovers. This song seems like Gavin\'s guilty conscience. \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nI went through something similar myself. I see similar shame/pride/denial themes in Glycerine, Swallowed, Communicator, Straight No Chaser.
