Discovering The Waterfront

This song is one of my favourites in the whole wide world. I believe its basically describing a break up, where the vocalist is talking about how hes dealing with the situation, hence the confusion and controdiction in the lyrics, talking about not caring, and then saying the girl hes in love with can see how hurt he is. With most relationships each break up is different, but the standard rule is to look like your so much better off and you dont miss them every second of the day, you dont wonder what they are doing, you dont cry when you hear that certain song or feel like your having a heartattack when you know the other person is having a fling with someone else. The saddest thing about this track is that you dont even need to listen to the lyrics to feel his pain because the tone of his voice literally drips with empathy and heartache. The song starts off strong and gradually he mellows and strains to keep his barriers up, with the end of the song coming back to a narrative equilibrium and his walls back up. Hes clearly no where near over her, but he doesnt understand who shes become, and he misses the way she used to be. Hes crying out for her to come and save him, but its clear she isnt going to come. ♥
