ohaky i read up on this song and it says oli doesnt want to tell the meaning because its so personal and its between him and his mom and dad ,, but what i dont understand is it sounds like he also has a lover involved ?? but ya i think its got to do with him and his mom and dad because like i think it took a while for his parents to accept him the way he is because you know parents i think its pretty hard for them to accept that your son or daughter has different views and ya like if you have parents who are Catholics and you dont believe in god so ya

"Do you feel the chair, Clawing at the back of your neck? And start to spell, Did you really think that you could fix me?"

ohkay so he probly told them about his beliefs and they disagree and his probly arguing with them saying that

"I'm just a would've been, could've been, Should've been, never was and never ever will be."

hes doubting himself saying hes not good enough thinking hes better of dead

"If you can't soar with the eagles Then don't fly with the flock.(probly his parents saying if you cant have normal friends dont friends at all because you just becoming one of them) Are you still getting high? Did you catch your own reflection, In the knife my mother held? Or the hell in my father's eyes?"

he obliviously saw his parents arguing and his mother had a knife

i dont really know if thats 100% right but its just wat im tryna interpret when oli said its between him and his parents ....

Excuse me, but I'm pretty sure that it's

'Can you feel the chill, crawling at the back of your neck?'

Because I honestly don't get what a chair has to do with the whole song.

Anyways, I'll just have to second someone's opinion that this song is indeed about fake friends and how they will do everything and anything just to ruin you and make your life a misery and a living hell.
