I can't believe that no one has commented on this song! I love it! Seriously. The lines "to search in the darkness for someone who looks like me (though i'm not really who i said i was or who i thought i'd be) just a collection of recollections, conversations consisting of the kind of marks we make when we're trying to get a pen to work again, a lifetime of them!" feel so relevant to my life, and I love the comparison with the pen because I could imagine it exactly. I think this song is about getting to the truth, to who you are, to honesty. A fresh, better start, maybe, by the end.
