OMGOsh na huh? ur brothers r seriously opening for SULLIVAN! wow too cool. well neway i think this song is about a girl who basically has fallen in love with a guy who was really too good to be true. In this line:
"You'll lie in his sheets and you hear how he speaks at the altar,
yet his toiletry bag is still lit with other girls hair."
It's saying that she's sleeping with him thinking how he's so fantasic (hence the whole alter cause priests are constantly thought of as perfect) but she fails to allow herself to see his faults (like sleeping with other girls) because liking him is really more about herself than about him:
"You're on and you're off but you're up to something, it's a cry for help.
Was it worth it to be part of something if you can't control yourself.
And I told myself I wouldn't lie."
She is dating him to have something to hold on to when her whole life is spinning out of control but it really is just one huge lie. And when she finally lifts the veil from her eyes and sees who he really is, she lets go of him but continues on in her parade pretending she knows how to live her life all on her own:
"So don't waste my time
and tell that everything I want is unfair. . .
Smear on your rouge and your favorite blues tonight."
The guy who is singing this loves her and probably has a close relationship with her (as suggested in this line: "Tell the world what you told me so they know how it feels.") but can't continue on knowing that she can't even admit her own feelings to herself so he wants to leave the emotional overload until she stops lying to herself:
"Lock the door because I'm leaving you tomorrow.
Do you always do just what you're told?
Get the shovel and we'll bury you,
we'll bury me."
He also knows it'll end and whenit does everything will be okay and they can finally be together:
"Perhaps in another life we'll be together up there.
Matters of heartbreak and time, spirits in tandem with mine...
I'm so glad it's over."
WHAT A THUGTASTIC SONG! and sorry for making up this crazy analysis that - now that i look back on it - doesn't even really piece together! i heart criticism by the way.
