The acoustic version of this song is one of the best songs I've ever heard... The SLEIGHBELLS!
The technical jargon thrown into the lyrics give it such a clinical and detached perspective, but all the while he's talking about how he longs for this person and feels she should be with him, which, that sentiment is the opposite of clinical and detached. I love the contrast there.
Sometimes things get so fucked up, all you can really do is "turn off the machine" and walk away from it. He's tried his ass off, the "system failed" so to speak...but that doesn't mean he doesn't wish things were different. He wishes intensely things would work out between them no matter how hard it'd be to accomplish that. So sweet and resigned.
