this song has been in my head alllllll day. danny's got such an amazing voice
um as far as meaning goes... i'm thinking it's about a guy with a guilty conscience. it seems to me that the singer has been cheating on his girlfriend, although at first glance it seems he's the one being cheated on because of the lines "the skyline whispers her promises, the same lie each night"
however it's stating he needs to get away, doesn't want to be noticed ect ect. also he says it's warm for october, implying he may be under the heat of a guilty conscience. i feel he's cheating on the girl because he may have lost interest but doesn't know how to leave her or he's testing out whether he truely feels for her. hence forcing himself to believe what she says, even though to him it's a lie.
moving on to the chorus the difference he wants is a change of scene, a different girl BUT he can't escape his girlfriend because he still sees her face and hears her promises, because he knows what he's doing is wrong.
i'm most convinced of this during the stanza near the end that starts "i look in the mirror..."
paying admission with his innoccence, exiting past her making him sick, "you're better than this, you're better than this"? one word: cheating.
so in conclusion... it's about a boy who cheats on his girlfriend, but still can't get her off his mind.
