Uberlin

[Hey, now, take your pills And hey, now, make your breakfast Hey, now, comb your hair and off to work] He's coming out of a relationship, and life seems meaningless now. Sticking to the daily routine, he's not really living, but rather surviving, simply doing what is necessary.

[Crash land. No illusions. No collision. No intrusion My imagination runs away] He's at the emotional bottom. Even though he didn't actually crash, and life continues he feels hopeless and without imagination for better times. He's also probably not ready for a new relationship right now, or maybe he just doesn't think he 's able to have one.

[I know, I know, I know what I am chasing I know, I know, I know, that this is changing me I am flying on a star into a meteor tonight I am flying on a star, star, star...] So knowing that he's still coping with his loss and can't start a new relationship, he's just chasing for company, someone to pull 'm trough the darkness. He knows that using somebody like this will make him a different (colder) person though. And so it feels like he's "flying a star into a meteor". In other words taking huge risks and playing with his own heart.

[I will make it through the day And then the day becomes the night I will make it through the night] This has a double meaning in my opinion. The direct meaning, that he'll pull himself trough the day, doing his work, and he'll manage somehow. But then the lonely night starts. But he reassures himself, that he's capable of pulling trough that as well. The double meaning is, he'll make it trough playing the rebound. But then he's afraid these temporary fixes might back-fire. But the reassures himself he'll manage somehow.

[Hey, now take the U-Bahn Five stops, change the station] Go out randomly and see where fate takes you.

[Hey, now, don't forget that change will save you] You'll have to introduce something new into your life, so you won't be reminded of what you've lost.

[Hey, now, count a thousand-million people, that's astounding Chasing through the city with their stars on bright] You're not the only one going trough this. In fact at times it seems like the whole city is filled with people making do, all coping with their losses and all trying to substitute it with some sort of relationship.

[I don't mind repeating I am not complete] He doesn't mind having to start over building a new relationship. He needs someone in his life, so he'll have to.

[I have never been the gifted type] He's not the type of person to whom making relationships come natural, he has to figure everything out as he goes.

[Hey man, tell me something? Are you off to somewhere? Do you want to go with me tonight?] So he's reaching out, trying to connect with someone.
