I'm wondering if some of the times he says "you" in this song he is talking to himself.
"I’ll write the pages you rip out, back in their places again
One day you’ll know what you’re talking about
I can hardly imagine"
i don't know, maybe i am just speculating here. It seems to me that one part of himself is talkig to the other, one part that wants to delve into these deeper issues, and the other part censoring itself. which leads me to:
"Filling in these blanks that you create
Every time you win some petty score
Posing as hardcore, oh yeah, either/or"
I always assumed he was talking to someone else here, but i'm not so sure now. it seems a little self-admonishing.
have you ever written something, a poem or a song or whatever, and just ripped it out and threw it away later? I have.
something about "one day you'll know what you're talking about" just really reminds me of poetry, that you write and then you think it makes no sense but it does.
