Guitar and Video Games

you hide your love for someone from the outside, they say you can't love them. they say it's not allowed, and you fake it, play video games, video games are innocent

something passionate that fell apart, maybe didn't work...now, desperately trying to salvage something older, something more simple and pure.

all this time looking for love and you want to find peace but you find me

i agree with pumpkinator, but i think that its also about how you spend time being friends with someone to try to get them to like you, and eventually they do, but then when the relationship ends you just wish that you could go back to when you were simple friends and played "guitar and video games" together

agreed ^

this song kicks

you know how theres just that one certain song that when you listen to it you get that feeling you cant explain

Most perfect first two minutes of a song ever. Never ceases to leave me in awe.

im leaving a lot of song interpretations right now because im in a thinking mood. so here goes for this one.

how is it you feel? ----how do you feel about your life? I remember you at the top of my room all these things we wondered how to hide ------we were ashamed of who we really were see how it works when all the day long in a bottle of mud------see how life is when you stifle yourself with shame and doubt all these fears we wondered how to hide our love

how is it you feel when you run?----do you really feel good when you try to deny yourself? ships won't come in in a bottle of mud----bottle of mud is a metaphor for actions that obscure who you really are----ships wont come in-----nothing is achieved when you act like this all this time looking for love and-----you spend your time trying to achieve a romanticized conventional ideal type of life

you want to find peace but you find me

mandrary fields where we run see how it works with a bottle of rum--same kind of imagery as before

all this time hiding from death and we want to be strong but we find the true story a tale writing itself as we sail------life is unpredictable---life happens as you live it a story a tale writing itself as we wail oh no

never again my dear shall we come dancing here--------let's not pretend and try to live up to other people's standards of what we should be doing....trying to posture and impress people

we'll play guitar and video games-----we can take pleasure in the simple things in life

what if we refused to follow the rules of fashion?-----would it be so bad to be ourselves, despite other people finding distate in it?

tell me something you'd tell a fool ways to refuse to follow the rules of fashion

how is it you feel when? remember you in the top of my room all these things remade me and caused to be something grand

never again shall we come dancing in the sea we'll play guitar for a new (2x) we'll play guitar and video games

anyway i didnt feel like doing every line...but i think the song is about being true to yourself and not trying to live up to other people's perceptions of who you are, or their expectations of who you should be.

I think the writer is reminiscing about simpler times, when he didn't have obligations and he could play video games all day. However many lines I don't get, like "ships won't come in in a bottle of mud."
