should have broke up with her awhile ago
Get another stamp in your passport --> hes thinking that this is just another relationship that failed and adds to his history of failed relationships (and hers as well, as she probably also went through multiple bad relationships)
Wash your breakfast down with some red wine
To leave the progress on your game
Try to fall asleep while your ears ring
From the loudest songs on your mix tape
I can dance to anything you wanna sing
^^these lines I found the most interesting because there all like contradictions of each other. these lines symbolize how dysfunctional their relationship is at this time, they are both trying to live their lives but they keep fighting each other
a calm situation with an acidic punch
maybe he wants a calm morning, and she rather drink and party and be rowdy
hes worked so hard to make the relationship work, but its almost like when they are together at this point its like they are both deleting the progress
their relationship is like falling asleep with ringing ears, its so difficult to relax and it takes a lot longer and is thus more painful to try to do what needs to be done
No reason, no action,
No silence, no help here,
Nobody came running up by my side
^^hes saying how she wasn't there for him when he needed her the most and that's the main reason why the relationship isn't working out and why he needs to end it
It's the first time, that I worried
Of a bad dream, of a journey
On a highway through the valley
It's a long road through the night
^^again stating the uncertainty of each others fates post break up
This couple might have been together for years and had a relationship that was once filled with love, progress, and hope and is now nothing like it was and is now painful, disorganized, filled with sadness, and resentment and is now on its way to being over. The guy realizes that they both now have to prepare for the aftermath and subsequent loneliness. its very sad, but very beautiful song.. very true blink style, i love it">

I think this song is basically about a guy about to break up with his girlfriend. This song points out their unwillingness to get along together and the uncertainty of the "road" ahead. (this of course is my personal interpretation)
Stop banging away on my kaleidoscope
Stop draining the color out of my scene
Just play me something I can dance to
I can dance to anything you wanna sing
^^the guy is saying stop bringing me down its really affecting my life and the way I feel. things would work between us if you would just do simple things for me -- I can then follow your lead and do things for you (ill dance to anything you wanna sing)
So lock me up in a studio,
Fill it up with sound and scenarios
Stop blocking the driveway with your car
Put the butterfly in the bill jar
^^when you bring me down, its like holding me hostage (lock me in the studio). Im forced to listen to your drama/problems/ issues all the time. its unproductive and it gets in the way of what I want to accomplish (in life). the butterfly symbolizes freedom, so putting it in the jar is the exact opposite of a butterfly's environment and in effect starves the butterfly of the ability to live a full life.
And blocking a car in a driveway is ironic, to me, because a car is used to travel anywhere --also symbolizing freedom -- and for her to leave it specifically so that he cant leave/ explore/ be free like a butterfly creates gridlock/stand still for both parties.
It's the first time, that I worried
Of a bad dream, of a journey
On a highway through the valley
It's a long road through the night
It's a long road
^^he's broken up with other girls before, but this time he's really worried about this girl. (he hopes that she will be alright emotionally, physically, mentally after they break up and on the road to recovery) But he's especially worried about his own wellbeing for the future
because he of course cared for this girl for at least sometime. Maybe they have been together for awhile and don't know how they will be able to handle themselves apart and single. (bad dream, journey, highway, etc all variable and uncertain, anxiety filled ideas)
Hear a stranger's voice in the front yard
Many hours tick past the deadline --> should have broke up with her awhile ago
Get another stamp in your passport --> hes thinking that this is just another relationship that failed and adds to his history of failed relationships (and hers as well, as she probably also went through multiple bad relationships)
