I agree that this song is great. I think many people are missing the point of the lyrics. The song sounds kinda messy and so do the lyrics. The lyrics and music I think describe perfectly the feelings and anxiety you feel when you are breaking up with someone who you thought you would be with forever. You don't know where to go, what to do, even what to think. You just become very primate and say/think a bunch of things kind of like he does in this song. Very dramatic but simple minded with a twist from a genius mind.
