This song reminds me my mate who suffers from autism, he's always scepitcal of his parent's love for him and always tell things as they are, sometimes losing him friends and stuff.
However, does anyone think the line, "Blake thinks angels grow when you plant angel dust" could reference William Blake at all? William Blake always said he saw angels all through his life.
I love how every single song of Amanda's generates so many different interpratations. I've known my mate since he was little and this song seems to fit him in so many details.

"He breaks their hearts
By saying it's not permanent"
He's done this numerous times, he's a handsome guy but when he gets into a relationship he always acts so casual about it because he understands it's not the makings of a life long relationship, and make that apparent with whoever he's dating, always upsetting them but he doesn't understand why.

"Blake makes friends but only for...
"Blake makes friends but only for a minute
He prefers the things he orders from the internet"
He loses his friends really quite often by saying careless things that most people take as being rude but he's really just saying things as they are and not meaning any harm.
"He takes his pills
But never takes his medicine"
He refuses to take any medicine apart from his anti-depresents for some reason not even I understand.
"Blake says he is sorry he got through to me
If it's ok he'll call right back and talk to the machine "
This really got me, my friend always leaves me messages on msn when I'm offline and rings me when I know I'm in class when he wants to discuss something to he can gather his thoughts on my answer machine, he finds it hard to cope with someone talking quickly on the phone because he can't read peoples tone of voice.
Finally "We'll all go to Alaska when we die"
My mate comes from quite a religeous Christian family and he can't believe that there is anything outside Scientific fact.
I know I've got into a lot of detail but this song really got to me. My mate is the onlu person I know with quite a serious case of Autism, I was wondering if this is around the same lines you were thinking of?
I know a girl who has autism and brain damage, and she's adorable and looks like a 15 years old when she's actually 22. When I first heard this song I didn't think of her since she is very different from Blake (she can't spaek), but after you pointed it out I can definitely see the connection. She has problems with medicines too and stuff.
this interpretation makes this song a hell of a lot sadder and more beautiful...

BTW, The Point Of It All also reminds me of autism... "No one can stare at the wall as good as you", "you had magically moved to the closet, eyes fixed to the place where the dryer had been"... Staring at the wall, going back to the comfort zone of the closet - it just links in my head to autism.
@Sebanova As someone with -very- mild autism, I'm inclined to agree with you. I think the individual described in this song is capable of positive interactions with other people, but isn't that interested in such communication - hence seeming to have a heart "in Alaska all the time" and preferring " things he orders from the internet".

I think the song's about autism, too. My younger brother's got it, and the first time I heard this song I just immediately linked it with him.
