do you think she'll notice
that i'm a wreck again
do you think she noticed
that i've lost a new pair
of boots
do you think she'll notice
how i felt in bed again
i guess it's nothing new
`cause nobody's listening
it's like giants falling
down
do you think i noticed
that she came in late
again
do you think i noticed
she's wearing a new
perfume
do you think i noticed
how she wore her hair
today
she said it's nothing new
`cause nobody's listening
it's like giants falling
down
that i'm a wreck again
do you think she noticed
that i've lost a new pair
of boots
do you think she'll notice
how i felt in bed again
`cause nobody's listening
it's like giants falling
down
that she came in late
again
do you think i noticed
she's wearing a new
perfume
do you think i noticed
how she wore her hair
today
`cause nobody's listening
it's like giants falling
down

I believe the song is about two people in a clearly dysfunctional relationship (perhaps one of them is even being unfaithful) but they refuse to acknowledge that their is any disharmony. Instead they mindlessly trudge through their routine as a couple, going through the motions as if all is fine. The chorus saying 'its like giants falling down' is to me a reference to how 'Giants' are mythical beings that most people don't believe ever existed (easy to be dismissive of). Giants is representative of how ignorant this couple is over the state of their relationship, so much so in fact that its become almost a mythological scale mess of discord.
Sponge's first album is a beautiful masterpiece, and this song is one of the most beautiful songs therein. I can't believe this hasn't been commented on yet, so I thought I would take a crack at its meaning.
Firstly, it sounds obvious to me (correct me if I'm wrong) that he says "nobody's losin'" and not "nobody's listening"
To me it seems pretty straight-forward that this is about a man who's girl is cheating on him, hence the lines:
Do you think I noticed That she came in late Again Do you think I noticed She's wearing a new Perfume Do you think I noticed How she wore her hair Today
As for "nobody's losin'" I'm not sure how that fits in. Anyone else know more about this song or insight into its meaning?
@VylePhinder You have the right idea. According to Vinnie its about "When A Relationship Goes Wrong And The Couple Denies All The Signs Of It Crumbling And When The Acknowledgment Occurs It Completely Devastates."

So judging by the lyrics and what you said. The guy knows shes cheating, but he basically just closes his eyes and pretends he doesn't .
