i think this song is about being obsessed with someone, and then slowly realizing that they are not all they were cracked up to be. something little exposes them to you. idk, thats my take on it. but it could mean a lot of things, thats what so great about sdre's lyrics, they are so abstract that they can be interpreted in many different ways. you can fit them with what you can relate to. anyways, its a kick ass song.
