Lyric discussion by vincent h.

"Follow me through a city of frost covered angels I swear I have nothing to prove I just want to dance in your tangles To give me some reason to move But to take on the world at all angles Requires a strength I can't use So I'll meet you up high in your anger Of all that is hoping and waiting for you"

That is the most beautuful and wonderful group of lyrics I have ever read. Seriously...they leave you speechless. That is pure poetry. The first time I read/listened to this song, these lines nearly brought me to tears, just because of how jaw-droppingly gorgeous they are. Jeff Magnum is some sort of God, that much I know.

Me too homie.... this is what it is to me...

This song is about a relationship that is doomed from the beginning... "We ride roller coasters into the ocean, we feel no emotion" but regardless he is in love and ignores the fact. The change of songs, to me, is when he is realizing the inevitable. 'Leave Me Alone' starts off to me, as the part where he is realizing what he already knew.... that the love he felt was almost commercial, if u will, and that its intimacy was squashed by the evident fact that any male would see...
