This song is so fuckin depressing to me but still I love it. I know Jeremy 'found God' or whatever but I always think of this song as a treatise on nihilism though he changes his mind in the end. I don't see how this song could be about a girl or a relationship when the bulk of it focuses on how we have no control over life, it is meaningless and there is nothing. I guess there is the third verse and the bridge which seem to address a person and are optimistic. I think the "every time you smile/ Every shining time you arrive" part shows he's found meaning & God. bleh . . . i guess i'm talking out of my ass anyway.
