PWD are born and bred Byron Boys, 2 years above me at my school which I have just finished.
Only recently have I realised how great they are, not while I was at school with them.
While PWD are associated with suicide, and so called 'emo' lyrics, I don't believe this song's primary focus is this stereotype.
"All I ever wanted was you... WHYYYYYY!?!? WHY DO I PERSIST" - Possibly talking about loving someone that you can't have. The singer knows that they can't have this person, but it is all they ever wanted. A mental struggle pursues, in which the singer isn't sure why he keeps persisting this person, which is 'beyond limits.'
"Love cant catch me, not today
Take your hand and just surrender?
Its just not worth it"
This is talking about this love, surrendering to the emotions. "It's just so hard to resist"
By stating "I'll endure another day" the singer is NOT implying that they are willing to take their own life over this love, but more so that they are willing to keep "persist"ing with it until the day comes that it succeeds.
The conclusion "Self loathing strangles me. But I'll endure another day" implies that they are willing to go through pain and suffering, to endure it all, just to get all they ever wanted.
Repetition of "why do I persist" reinforces and emphasises the difficult decision, in wondering why he is continuing on in such a seemingly hopeless case.
A great PWD song, can't wait to see them when they come back to my home town - their home town.
