Wow, I've been reading everyones comments and they're about suicide?...
Whilst thats a posibility, Look at the rest of his work, they're not very... suicidally based..
To me, I suggest, that this is partially, to do with ex girlfriends, or, malevolent / malicious people...
If we take it in the example of and argument;
'So go on And I will refrain' - ' Go on, say what you will, i'll 'refrain' and just take it'...
'And I'll keep on running this neverending race' - The endless arguments / confrontations that he could be having with a certain individual...
'maybe next time will be the right time and maybe next time will be your time' - 'Maybe next time, you'l be able to get to me, maybe next time will be the time that person will be sucessful in getting to him...'
'So save your scissors For someone else's skin' - scissors being the harsh words, so, save them, don't bother, because they wont bother him/ hurt him because...
'My surface is so tough' - He is thicked skinned...
'I don't think the blade will dig in' - those harsh words will just run off...
'There's no way that I want you to be left behind' - yet he shows compassion, he's saying, 'dont bother trying to hurt me, it wont work, i don't want you to loose your friends? or so forth, so, just stop and we'll forget it happened..." ? (this, will make more sense if my translation, of the last verse was true)
'This has never been my sole intention
And I have never claimed to have patents on such inventions' - No idea on this, maybe a personal dig at someone that has said something?
'There is something that I must confess to you tonight....
And that is I expect nothing less from you tonight' - now, this, could be about an ex girlfriend, what if, he knew that she was always malicious deep down? so here he is 'confessing' that he had always known... if this is true, then then whole song would be somewhat of a warning to an ex girlfriend, telling her, to, 'save her malicious / harsh words' as they're not going to hurt him, he has always known that she wasn't that nice, and this confirms it...
this would probably make sense of the middle verse about paterns on inventions and falling in love?...
