though i agree with pumkinhed, i think its jus a little more than that. i believe the speaker is complaning about life and the aspects of it not having a enough passion/zest. the way the music switches from heavy (almost like friction between metals) to soft and lyrical (like a wistful lullaby) can be percived as a person's thought process when working out a problem. the problem could be tug-of-war situation that person is going through in their mind. the decision is whether to let things be as they are or act upon their lament and do something. this song is mainly about putting in that last amount of energy into the effort of reconcilation, in order to recapture the beauty that was lost. neverthenless, its a beautiful~ kinda reminds me of a sunset.
your interp is speaking to me now, so thanks jisty... trying to work out my thoughts these days, feeling sick of heart, soul... wondering what happened? was/is there anything there? kinda of feelings... so i've had this song and the rest of "hate" on loop...

took me awhile to comment about this, but i always thought of this song: sweeping, the song soars.. i imagine lovers, in the air, falling, holding hands, in a parachute-jump position... somehow the feeling of falling is a little terrifying, but more comforting... falling through the sky, cloud after cloud, with the...
took me awhile to comment about this, but i always thought of this song: sweeping, the song soars.. i imagine lovers, in the air, falling, holding hands, in a parachute-jump position... somehow the feeling of falling is a little terrifying, but more comforting... falling through the sky, cloud after cloud, with the soundtrack turned off so there's no whooshing of the air current, just being amazed falling and seeing what's around... light, a pale yellow one--"the light before we land"...
imagine falling... and just enjoying this falling... its beauty and misery... beautiful because it's miserable... keeping that doubt in mind even though our souls cling onto hope... the light before the darkness... the air before you hit pavement.
i have felt this song to be just like that: falling, but not knowing whether you'll hit the ground hard, or alight, and be ok...
melodically, this song's got hooks: the distorted guitars, when emma pollocks sings the refrain, particularly "when I feel like I can feel once again" "let me stay awhile" "Soak it in awhile" and "Buy a little time for this head of mine"...
came to know this and the delgados because of gunslinger girl... feeling empty, hopeless (but somehow hanging on), the jadedness... it's there in both
