this song (well, this band in general) pulls at something really deep in my heart. i can't explain the incredible feeling of identification i get listening to the postman syndrome; it's like listening to one perfect instrument that can produce the spectrum of sound that it normally takes an assortment of instruments to make.
to me, this song is about faking optimism, trying to convince yourself that something you've spent so much time on isn't dying. it speaks of trying to make a lover who doesn't want to stay stick around. it talks of faking the best out of a harsh situation ("if love turns cold, i'll call it ice cream"), and how it's so easily replaceable, but would be just as unfulfilling.
the last verse, "I ask, 'what's it like to feel important?'" implies that the speaker is coming to the realization that things haven't <i>become</i> bad, but they've pretty much <i>been</i> bad from the start. a lost cause.
