this is not a song about love- this is a song about addiction. this is not a song about changes, this is a song about sinking in the sand in one place and one time- this is not a song about tenderness this is a song about blindness. this a song about a girl so fucked up inside that everything she touches just turns bad its a song about a girl whos hands are like knives and when you love her she just sticks you with them its not a song about love. its a song about a girl who lies and cheats and changes everything she says because shes just like mercury- adam duritz
its tough to listen to him talk about this song. all of my relationships have ended because i am this girl. and i dont know what to do about it. its not that the girl is crazy its that she cant get her point across. "in absence of a place to be she stares there looking back at me- she hesitates and then turns away"... shes a victim as much as hes a victim. thats why they fit so well and why theyre addicted to eachother. she needs a reason to be there and he needs a reason to stay. and theyre both bad reasons. it makes me cry to listen to this song.
you cant accept her for who she is because shell kill herself or loving you and youll kill yourself for loving her... but all you want to do is love eachother.

It's a song about a girl who slips and slides whose shape just changes seamlessly - hands like knives that stick and twist inside of me-
This is a girl whose... anything she wants to be.
This is a girl who...'s like poison-
...a girl whose just... like... mercury."...
