Out of This World

I'm having troubles with the girl I am seeing at the moment and this song I can relate too....

'And the barriers are all self-made '

We both have erected barriers for different reasons - mine because I have never felt like this about anyone before and hers because she say she is intimidated by the amount of Ex Girlfriends I have (and still talk to)....

'Are you drowning or waving I just need you to save me Should we try to get along Try to get along '

I am a very insecure person when it comes to relationships (pfft - only had 1 proper relationship before!) and I do need Vicky to save me... I need her to tell me where I stand - it ain't forthcoming tho' :o(

trouble in realstionships and not knowing if they should carry on or give up.

I think lyric by lyric this song describes the ups & downs of life, the trials & choices as well as the barriers we create between ourselves & others. My own life has been been symptomatic of this. No one is perfect, we need to understand that this life will be full of scars & unforgiving pain at times but death is not the escape (suicide). Coming home again doesn't have to mean the end.

i definitely think this is about death and love, its kinda wierd, and hard for me to explain, sorry

this song is very... great!! it says the personal feelings of love and hatred people can feel at the same time for one person. I think it says what we all feel sometimes. I love it!

plus i especially love the line "are you drowning or waving". thats awesome!

I LOVE THIS SONG! it the describe the way some people feels in relationship or life in general

now it's forthcoming.... I admitted that I was falling in love with her and she said that she couldn't say the same.... at least I know :(

yeah i suppose it's about death and love. but i think mainly about death when i care for the lyrics. the first verse is obvious. being alive doesn't feel like home anymore because, once you beome aware of all the "trials of confusion we create" and the heavy questions about existence, your opinion on death changes and it now feels like home. conscience is a point of no return. so peace and silence are now found "out of our heads, out of this world, out of this time". in easier words: dead, away from life's weight. that's home now. home is always the place you feel peace, right?

of course every interpretation is influenced by personal experiences, so is my own. this is just an opinion, as true as anyone elses.

Personally I think this song is about what happens when a loved one dies. The first verse is how you assure yourself that they've moved on to a better place.

In the chorus, I don't think that "should we try to get along" means should these two people try to get along with one another, but rather should we try to move on, should we try to press forward in our lives without them.

"We change by the speed of the choices that we make" just means that you'll never move on unless you make the choice to. And the only thing holding you back from moving on with your life is yourself (the barriers are all self-made, that's so retrograde).

Of course it's just my opinion, but that's what I think when I hear the song...that it's about trying to move on in your life without a loved one that just died.
