So the song was written for that cute lady in the Breakeven music video Danny dated for 4 years, we all know that, but 6 degrees of separation is a theory that anyone on the planet can be connected to any other person on the planet through at most 6 chains of acquaintances, or "Friends-of-a-friends". so.. Joe wants to meet Bob. Joe's sister Sally is friends with Ann whose brother is Billy whose boss is Jim who plays golf on sundays with Bob.
The original idea is heartwarming; you're only at most 6 links away from meeting the love of your life!... but they are taking a sad, romantic spin on the original idea; rather than being just 6-steps close to her, it's more like the 6-stages of separation from her we all go through. I think he fucked up, she left, now he's dealing with the separation, wants her back desperately.
"you've read the books, you've watched the shows
what's the best way, no one knows"
how do you deal with heartbreak? no real answer.
"meditate, yea, hypnotized
anything to take it from your mind
but it won't- go"
trying to control your thoughts, control your emotions. never works argh
"you had the drink, you take a toke
watch the past go up in smoke"
get drunk, get high, forget the past. that'll numb the pain won't mend it -.-
"you fake a smile, ya, lie and say
you're better now than ever and your life's ok
but it's not, no"
trying to BS yourself or your friends that you're actually doing great, but you're not oh no...
"you tell your friends, yea strangers too
anyone who will throw an arm around you"
wanting to do nothing but talk about her and how she up and left you. throw a pity party for yourself, make everyone feel for you.
"talla cards, gems and stones
believing all the shit's gonna heal your soul
well it's not, whoa"
try some crazy voodoo shit, get spiritual, maybe supernatural powers will mend his heartache. but it won't.
"First, you think the worst is a broken heart"
he didn't do anything wrong, she just up and left, broke his heart. shell-shocked
"What's gonna kill you is the second part"
really hits him, sinks in, truth hurts. loneliness, forlorn hope that she's coming back. thinking too much. definitely the longest stage, last time took me good 3 weeks of this day in day out. HORRIBLE.
"And the third, Is when your world splits down the middle"
sick of feeling terrible. forces himself to make a choice: wait
"And the third, Is when your world splits down the middle"
sick of feeling terrible. forces himself to make a choice: wait&hope or try and move on.
"And the third, Is when your world splits down the middle"
sick of feeling terrible. forces himself to make a choice: wait&hope or try and move on.
"And fourth, you're gonna think that you fixed yourself"
he chose to move on! good man. works a little bit. different outlook on life, world isn't as grim, still bitter as hell though, girls do that to a guy. -.-
"And fourth, you're gonna think that you fixed yourself"
he chose to move on! good man. works a little bit. different outlook on life, world isn't as grim, still bitter as hell though, girls do that to a guy. -.-
"Fifth, you see them out with someone else"
memories flood, emotions awake, that spark re-ignites. nostalgia's a bitch, so is she. poor guy. hopefully the new guy isn't...
"Fifth, you see them out with someone else"
memories flood, emotions awake, that spark re-ignites. nostalgia's a bitch, so is she. poor guy. hopefully the new guy isn't your friend and has one ugly mug
"And the sixth, is when you admit that you may have fucked up a little"
the time away from her, being separated, makes him admit he actually did do something wrong, he admits to "fucking up a little". this isn't an acceptance moving on oh well kinda thing, this is a desperate last ditch effort appeal for her to come back.
"oh no there ain't no helping, to remember one's self"
the dude lost himself in the relationship. forgot who he was, stopped talking with friends, stopped doing the things he liked. he's still spellbound by her, friends can't help get him back, he can only do it for himself but he still wants her back. oh honey..
"oh no there's no starting over
without finding closure"
can't move on without closure. i don't mean move on to another girl, i just mean get over the fight or his mistake or the separation, or at least get over the fact she up and left him, that way if she does come back he can start new.
"you take them back no hesitation
that's how you know you've reached the sixth degree of separation"
annnnnnd this is the lyric which is true to all guys damn it. after all the pain she put you through.. she watched your heart break, watched you wallow in your misery, watched you try and move on, watched you squirm seeing her with a new guy so soon, watched you make a last ditch effort trying anything while in-dignifying yourself admitting you were wrong.
does she take him back? she never does.
Moral of the Story: love hurts. and women are jerks.
if you're in Stage 2 as you read this, go on auto-pilot for a few weeks. if it's January start planning stuff in February to do, people break up for a reason so start controlling your thoughts. if you catch yourself thinking of her, immediately stop- just say outloud "oops there i go". turn it into a game, catch yourself? good. reward yourself. self-discipline. goodluck.
