Shuffle

This song is overly addictive. I feel like I'm on drugs when I'm listening to it. Not that I really know what that's like...Anyway, it's just so lightening and vibrant and alive. It really makes you question too. I think it's all about the fear of commitment. "Say you mean it, seal it up. Say you wanna try." It's about begging your love to accept what you know they feel. "Why won't you believe in it 'til it's gone?" The low point of all human characteristics, we want things we can't have and we realize what we want too late. Love is such an ineffable emotion, and it seems pointless to even try to describe what it is...Or maybe this song is about setting your iPod to shuffle, and you hear a song that you think you might like, but you decide to skip over it, and by the time you realize that you wanted to listen, it's already gone. I'll let you guys decide that.

Official lyrics

Weight is coming off soaring high Pleading you to stay come alive

Say you mean it, seal it up say you wanna try Say you haven't had enough say you wanna

Once you get the feeling it wants you back for more Says it's gonna heal it but you won't make the call One step back you're leaving it now it's moving on Why won't you believe in it 'till it's gone?

Fading out the line softly say get it out my mind any way

Say you mean it, seal it up say you wanna try Say you haven't had enough say you wanna

Once you get the feeling it wants you back for more Says it's gonna heal it but you won't make the call One step back you're leaving it now it's moving on Why won't you believe in it 'till it's gone?

Once you get the feeling it wants you back for more Now it gets ethereal feet ain't on the floor One step back you're leaving it jumping at the wall Why won't you believe in it 'till it's gone?

You gave to me all I know I will stay here I will not go

I am in loveeeeeeeeeeee!!

I believe It´s about how we can shuffle our feelings for someone with no reason, like when we are with someone for a long time, and suddendly you dont feel the same way as you used to, and then you decide to break down your relationship with that person, probably with the excuse that you need to meet new people or that you need a change in your life. "Weight is coming off soaring high" you're telling that person what you,ve been thinking for some time and that you dont want to be with her/him anymore."Pleading you to stay come alive" this person dont want you to go away and ask for you to stay."Say you mean it, seal it up say you wanna try Say you haven't had enough say you wanna" It's what you're suposed to say in order to not continue with your mistake..."Once you get the feeling it wants you back for more"It refers to the feeling of waking up and realize that you miss that person so much and how much you need to be with him/her. "Says it's gonna heal it but you won't make the call" It's when we say there's no problem, that the pain will pass, and you won't make the call to that person."One step back you're leaving it now it's moving on" It's about when you regret of your decision and try to comeback with that person again but she/he is not interested anymore. "Why won't you believe in it 'till it's gone?" This is how you must appreciate what you have now and not until is gone... I love this song... Sorry if bad english

Love this song, I'm so glad i heard it.

To me, it sounds like he's singing about an addiction... Once you get the feeling it - (once you've tried it) wants you back for more - (you get hooked) Says it's gonna heal it but - (you say you'll get better) you won't make the call - (you think you have it under control) One step back you're leaving it now it's moving on - (you left it, and now your addiction gets worse) Why won't you believe in it - (why won't you realise your problem) 'till it's gone? - (until it's too late) and the line about it being ethereal, the affects of your addiction... For me this song will always be about addiction.

Drugs

I think this song is about the realization of having the person you need in your life, then throwing them away for something that you think you need, possibly drugs. Giving up that person you need for the addiction you have for drugs, and making that realization. The use of the word "it" in the chorus confuses the listener into not know if "it" refers to drugs or the significant other, which I think what the singer wants. To have the listener be just as confused about what they want/need. The singer doesn't know whether they need the feelings that drugs give them, or the feeling that love gives them, more.

and I thought maybe it had to do with going to therapy (mental)?? Like one that is dabbling in it, but not committing, "weight is coming off, soaring high, pleading you to stay, come alive"... I suppose this could be about any relationship.... All I can say is its awesome, amazing band, and very creative....

I think the meaning of this song exists in it's four line bridge.

You gave to me All I know I will stay here I will not go

This song is about having something that means so much to you, something that is so good it is not of is earth (ethereal), and struggling to let it go. It is something that relates to almost everyone alive. We have all had experiences that have, in a sense, given us all we know, that we have had to let go and thus endured some kind of struggle.
