This song is right up there with "23" by Jimmy Eat World for my favorite song of all-time. To put it simply, this song is so incredibly beautiful. The lyrics are absolutely incredible and speak right to me. One of the best things about music is that it can be interpreted by each person differently. However, this song is clearly about someone wanting to escape from not only the life they live, but from the person they loved. Loneliness is such a natural human emotion and even though we may be surrounded by friends and family, we can often feel more alone than ever. I can particularly relate to this because my girlfriend of over four years broke up with me a few months ago and I felt more alone than I've felt in my entire life after it happened. I'm sure everyone, at some point in their lives, has had the feeling that they just need to escape and start over. Just like beautifulxgoodbye said before me, this song is an escape for me. As far as the meaning of this song goes, he doesn't like the way his life is turning out and needs to get away from it and reset everything. He's asking someone, a friend maybe, to tell him, "all the things that I, I'll be missing here in this old life man cause I just don't know." He sees no reason not to leave the life he is living because he doesn't know of anything that he will miss. This song is, by far, my favorite from Safetysuit. This band is amazing and I hope they start getting the love they deserve. Kind of a long comment here but I felt this amazing song deserved it.
