The song is clearly about long-term relationship break up. It starts with Wes kicking an ex-girlfriend out his place.
My analysis:
He's heel over head which is the opposite of the head over heels. He's just sick of this person; which is the opposite of being in crazy about her. "Jet black sky is painted white again." This line is taking the expression 'head over heels' literally. The jet black refers to the asphault of the road. The white refers to the clouds.
"You don't save me
Or hear me
Or touch me
Or break me
Or think that I'm rippin' a part at the seams "
His ex was being insensitive to his feelings so he's sick of staying with her for "year after year after burning year."
When I first bought the 'Life on Display' album, I thought POM could have picked a better 2nd single from the album. But the appeal of this song for me is that it has a very unique instrumental sound.
