"No one knows my name I'm not in demand" i think we all know that feeling right? "Signs are right, The signs are here, Who needs virtual world, When I can see it now, I can see it now, oh now, oh now, now" I think this is Ashcroft's personality telling us "hey we can change and do something about this, we can be noticed" so he's asking "who needs Virtual World?" cause he can see it now, so why can't you? "No one goes no one cares, No one seen it anywhere" pretty much saying he's displeased with everyone cause they won't see things the way he sees them, no one cares. "She's breathing life into lonely dead stars, Have you ever seen it, I ain't seen nothing at all" Obviously this about a girl who helps others that are lonely and lost and he's wondering why she hasn't helped him cause he's just not seeing it. A lot of Verve songs have that drug feel as well as depressive side to them and I definitely feel this is one of them.
Its really tough for me to sit here and analyze this song as a whole cause i think you just gotta interpret it line by line. That being said I simply just think this song is about Ashcroft's own "Virtual World" which is something we all have and I also think it's about some girl whose right there in this world that he lives in, yet it seems like he doesn't really give two shits about her haha just read the chorus if you don't believe me. One of my favorite Verve songs, I listen to it every morning I drive to work at about 5:45 AM and for some reason it just comforts me. Long live the Verve!
