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.
