Um. That said, I have very little idea what this song is about... X3; Though I'm tempted to think it's something very similar to my analysis of Endlessly. In that...
Boy loves girl (or vice versa, whatever), or perhaps is a little confused over whether he loves her or is just fond of her, and she either doesn't know or doesn't acknowledge it. Maybe this girl is very charismatic or eccentric, or perhaps just a lover of life, which makes me think the first two lines - 'Let your inhibitions go, make every touch electrical' - might be slightly ironic, like he's mimicking the kind of advice she's likely to give.
The boy clearly sees that the girl is very special, and will go far in life, whereas he is quite unsure of himself; he probably thinks he's quite average. So he asks, 'When you're feeling beautiful, will you remember me?' When you're out there, living the life, and I'm still here, working a desk job, will you still remember who I am? Who I was?
'I wanna touch you deep inside, and find the secrets that you hide' - you're so special. What is it that makes you so special? Why are you so different? What are you hiding? And 'when your fears are cast aside' - if you ever tell me your secrets, if you offload your troubles on to me - will you remember me?
'Easily forgotten love'. You don't know it, but I love you, whether it be for better or worse, and because you don't know, it's so easily forgotten. Trampled beneath the rest of your whirlwind life. But it's not so easy for me. Not so easily forgotten. I'll remember, and this will be with me for the rest of my life.
Now, I know the line is 'easily the best I ever had', but I originally misheard it as 'best I NEVER had', and, since then, have sort of thought of it that way when interpreting the song. Were it the best love he'd never had, that would, again, be another line with a soft irony to it; 'this would be fantastic - if it was mine.'
Anyway. Nothing more to say really, other than there was a time not so long ago when I thought of this song as very relevant to me. Relevant in a way other than the one I've described here, though. |3
Oh, man. It messed up my comment. D:
-tries again with the rest of it-
