As petey3eb I didn't like this song either... but then I listen to it calmly and I ended up loving it. I think people won't realize how great this song is, and that's sad because it REALLY is. I think is a different song is about how we give to many importance to ourselves, and we often don't accept when we are doing something wrong. I also think that the meaning goes deeper than that. Like the part of "Do you want this, I do, and I want this, but I can't break through" is about wanting something so much but being afraid to go for it. "I can see you begin to glow" "you are the only thing that's real" is like when you start realizing how amazing and true a person can be. "Get up everyone now, we're on our own know" Is when you realize you are all alone and there's no one else for you but youself, because the truth is that we will be the only persons that we'll keep being true to ourselves, no one else is gonna think always on what's best for us, not even our friends, at least not always. One of my favorite lines is: "And outside rains, and it's just a shower, and then I feel you breathe, and I let go the hours, and I feel your skin, and I let you in, and that's my dream, again and again." For me means to be with someone you aprecciate so much and in some kind of way you are in love with, and the only thing you want is to stay inside that person, to feel him/her close at the point of becoming part of the same human being. Oh yeah... I've been there. I LOVE this song so much, people is missing of a great song! That's my humble interpretation of this song... thanks again 3eb.
