I adore this song. It doesn't sound...entirely like a 'break-up' to me.
To me it sounds like. He's a player. "You try to give it your best but to what end? Saliva" He doesn't really understand why people try to be in relationships, he just wants to be with everyone. "Its about time that I stop" He's just dropped a girl.
"As I sit on the train I can taste her in my saliva" I'm assuming he cheats on girls because of a girl in his past; a girl he cheated on that he can't get out of his head. Well he starts thinking of her more and more even though he's going to see another girl. "But I still depend on my Thursday friend. Saliva"
"And there's no book about you and me.
Only snippets remain."
Maybe this girl he keeps thinking of, and him were never together. They just had moments, and the reason she still haunts him is because he feels he should have spent more time with her. (She might have been the one.)
"I get a light!
I get a light from everyone.
That's right!
So undetermined,
all I do now is just horrible and mean.
I used to think that she and me could only be just fine,
and to begin with nothing seems wrong,
But it's not a happy song."
(Maybe he's trying to talk to this girl in his mind.)
He gets a thrill from being with people. He just plays with their hearts, and he's mocking her by saying "all I do now is just horrible and mean." (Now he's done..talking TO her) He's thinking about his decision to continue cheating instead of staying with her. This is just his life-style so it seems natural to him...but this song no matter upbeat it might sound...just isn't happy for him.
(I don't think I need to explain the sorry parts...)
"I'm finding out that you can't mess around with saliva.
And I drive a lot, 'cause I can't stop thinking about her.
(I'm in your hands)
I'll be yours, you'll be mine.
It'll be fine.
Intertwined."
He's just starting to accept he made the wrong decision. And he's starting to cheat (drive) more because he really wants to forget the whole thing. But ultimately he can't. He's realizing she has completely power over him, and he wants to finally commit to her.
"Wet your dried out lips with saliva.
What's more strange than this? Your saliva.
If I did not miss your saliva,
if my lips could kiss your saliva still."
He wants her to kiss him, and only her lips "saliva" can satisfy him now. But from the last line it seems as if either he can't find her, or she's not willing to take him back.
