Personally, to me it's about a guy (in this case Doug) singing to a girl, and virtually he is saying to her that she is beautiful inside and he doesn't care that she isn't pretty on the outside, unlike everyone else, who makes fun of her and "took her moments of feeling alive (being happy with who she is) and made them moments of dying inside (dreading waking up every morning because she knows she is going to be made fun of and critiqued again)." However, the girl doesn't believe him, and doesn't see he loves her despite her outward appearances and flaws. Although she isn't outwardly pretty, to the singer her soul is outrageously beautiful. :)
I love this song, and it is one of my favorites by this band. I am so glad I accidentally stumbled across Safetysuit a while back, or they wouldn't be my absolute favorite band as they are now! Thanks, Safetysuit, for the amazing music and for singing that there is more to a girl than what's on the outside. :)
Wow. No interest in hearing the song after that interpretation. How noble of him to decide if she is pretty on the outside or not. How bright of him for not realizing that there are differences of opinion. And how compassionate of him, although I doubt the girl in the song wants his pity. How lucky for him that he's the epitome of physical beauty. Must be difficult being so damn good looking and having to spend time with an ugly duckling. I'm gathering she's not a teenager either. Well, fuck her. Why does she even bother to live...

Okay, from what I'm seeing here from your reply is that you must have issues of our own to want to try to turn such a sincere, beautiful song into something like what you described. With your statement of "having no interest to hear that song" now after my interpretation, you obviously have never listened to the song thoroughly, or you would see he is pretty much crying out to Annie to say she is beautiful on the inside and is trying to lessen her pain. You were obviously being sarcastic when you called him compassionate , lucky, etcetera, but...

Either that, or you just have some problems of your own you need to take care of, because I never meant to offend, but you obviously took it that way. I am sorry if something I said pushed you the wrong way, but I was simply stating my opinion on a song which is what we're SUPPOSED to do on here. I'm not trying to anger you, but I really wish you wouldn't leave replies like that when I was simply stating my opinion on an amazing song.
