Lasso Lyrics

I'd say about 15% of the interpretations that people think are about a relationship, are actually about a physical relationship between a boy and a girl. The biggest part of this song that stands out to me:

Forever is a long long time When you've lost your way Trying to follow your ideal Oh sorry but your so called life It is such a waste

Wear your real eyes No you don't realize What you say yes to But you say yes too

The lifestyle we all live is such a waste, environmentally. We say yes to all these things unconsciously, such as cars, because practically everyone has a car. Even if we are getting a gas efficient car we are still contributing to the destruction of this earth, therefore we don't realize what we "say yes to." We think of ourselves as saints for being green, but there is no such thing as a green lifestyle in this country or world any more. Then "forever is a long time when you've lost your way." I can't exactly hit the nail on the head with this but forever is however long it takes for us to destroy this world. Our society has lost it's way so much that we can't go back.

I'm sure there are other components in this song, but that's what I see.
