In a more general sense, ignoring the intent of MP in writing these lyrics, one person's side about a breakup or a friendship ending... an argument in general. I would take it to represent two sides from one person's point of view.
To explain that a little clearer, the fictional breakup leaves the man hurt by the woman.
"Have I thanked you for your time?
Or will your life go unrewarded
Again?
Never asking for a dime
You just gave all of yourself
Until I turned my back on you
My friend"
This could be the man saying how he feels the woman treated him... its like "Oh blah blah look at me, my name is girl, im sooo special" that kinda thing but more serious.
"I'll take the blame for these things that I say
'Cause I had the heart and the will and the courage to stay
Every day
I won't walk away"
This might represent the man saying he loves her and he won't give up on her, he'll always be there for her when she needs him and he did what he could to make her happy and such. and now he's just going to tell her the truth cuz that's what she needs to hear.
That is my quick summary, i feel some of it should be left to your own interpretation.
I will say, though, that "artist" and "digests" are symbolic to me and that makes it easier to see that. They could both be realistic as the artist would represent her as an artist and digests would represent music she gave him. Or it could be more of a symbol that is kind of too personal for me to post on here.
anyways, that's my food for thought. I rarely take lyrics at their face value or their true value. What good is a song that is upset about kevin or a crew member. How does that connect me and my life to the song?
