I find more to this song than just a broken heart that can't be let go of. I believe Adam's writing about being on tour and just wanting to go home.
I'm tired of waking up in tears,
'Cause I can't put to bed these phobias and fears
He's affriad of messing up on stage.
I'm new to this grief I can't explain;
But I'm no stranger to the heartache and the pain
This fear is new to him, but he's experience the pain it causes before.
The fire I began, is burning me alive
But I know better than to leave and let it die
He started the project Owl City, which is now starting to overwhelm him. But he knows that he should follow through with it.
I'm a silhouette asking...
A silhouette is a simple representation of something, but it lacks detail. It tells you what it is, but nothing about it. When Adam's on stage he's a silhouette. He performs and you see Owl City. But he's nervouse and he'd rather be at home.
Is it over yet? Will I ever feel again?
He wonder's if this tour will ever end.
But the more I try to move on the more I feel alone
The harder he tries, the more tired out he feels. After all, he's an introvert.
So I watch the summer stars to lead me home
Adam's a Christian, so I see this as him looking to God for help in a hard time.
I'm sick of the past I can't erase,
A jumble of footprints and hasty steps I can't retrace,
The mountains of things that I still regret,
Is a vile reminder that I would rather just forget
(No matter where I go)
This whole tour thing's got him down and when you're feeling down you often think of other times when you failed or made mistakes and it pulls you down further. He'd rather just forget these things. Also, the "no matter where I go" implies that he's traveling, thus on tour.
(Chorus)
'Cause I walk alone, no matter where I go
'Cause I walk alone, no matter where I go
'Cause I walk alone, no matter where I go
Like I said, he's an introvert. And introverts need their time alone to recharge. Again, "no matter where I go" implying that he's on the band wagon...
(Chorus)
NOTE: Now don't get me wrong; Adam's a fantastic individual! And I'm not saying that he's faking happiness up on stage and that he really hates everyone. I'm just saying that he doesn't prefer to tour.
