Cover art for Pretend That You're Alone lyrics by Keane

My opinion: 1) We're just animals, an upgrade of monkeys. But we're not fully developped yet. 2) Love is not a big deal, we just use it not to be alone. So whatever, love is not important, fuck it. 3) Now pretend that everything we've built, everything that opresses us, all those rules are gone. You're free. 4) If nothing was important, i would destroy all those rules to reach freedom, it wouldnt be a big deal. 5) So why wouldnt we do that? Just get rid of everything and live free without anything/anyone to care about. 6) tricky part, but heres my guess The fact that it's a "she" would mean there's a relationship with the one who talks. If the one who talks has expressed its feelings about being free and all that, she may be desperate because she thinks he doesnt care about her (?). 7) He realises that living the dream of being free would mean living without her. He doesnt want that so he wants to get out of his dream.
