Life On A Chain Lyrics

Cover art for Life On A Chain lyrics by Pete Yorn

i feel like by saying he lives his life on a chain, it's like there are a million other links but none are more important than the other. and by saying they share the same last name, it's like she's in the same situation. and by waiting for life to begin and looking for the new thing, it's like feeling incomplete and you feel alone like no one truly understands you... but it's like she's there and always been there but he never never knew her or noticed. but then he didn't want to be with her and tried to do his own thing, but that didn't work. i think the whole song is him thinking in retrospective about how she was good for him and by the end he's come to the realization he loves her still. i'm not really sure though if this is plausible but i'm an aspiring writer, and in high school we had to evaluate poems the same way stanza by stanza

My Interpretation

Mmm I've been trying to figure out the meaning of this songg...and I deff. relate to what you're saying. Maybe there's no real specific story behind the song though....and I think we're entitled to our assumptions about what the song is about. No comment is either right or wrong..
