I already talked about the first verse, which is so sweetly twisted, but how about this one.
"This feeling inside me can never deny me the right to be wrong if I choose, and this pleasure I get from say winning a bet is to lose."
Speaking of twisting words around -- this is a very nice one indeed.
The right to be wrong -- in the end, it's just a play with two words that are opposites, nothing much there, but this pleasure, when sung, also sounds like displeasure.
So, is it :
This pleasure I get from winning a bet is to lose?
or
Displeasure I get from winning a bet is to lose?
Both opposites exist in the same phrase.
Awesome.
As far as meaning goes, I would say, the song is about mixed feelings -- especially when you're eating your pie and you can see people die on TV.. very mixed feelings indeed -- no rhyme or reason to it.
