wow. this song is epic in proportion. its structured so perfectly and executed so passionately... its one of my all-time favourite songs. anyways, i see a lot going on here... i see the character of Hustle Rose representing pretty much every girl who finds themselves always getting done up and going out on weekends to clubs and bars and just casually hooking up with people in those scenes. all of a sudden it hits her that she once wanted more, she once had bigger dreams, but now she's realizing what she's become, and how sad it is, and its bringing her down. all her dreams that got too tight, all the sex she substitutes for love and feeling, all the same old crap and she can't feel a thing anymore. and as she's bringing all that out on another night out, she's realizing that she doesn't want to keep doing that anymore. its like the whole song is her trying to answer the question "why wouldn't i stand in line tonight?" almost like a clever societal jab... or something...
