"My head has thoughts
What a ridiculous place to start
She said, well, how about my chest
Or, more specifically, my heart"
"Whenever I'm alone or feeling lonely
I pretend I can play the drums
Inside my head and I am good
I love these songs
I love my songs"
These two verses show his initial nerves and how quickly she stole his heart. She seems to be on the exact same page. And he is truly happy about this. In his head he thinks of what the future could be with her. And how hard he'd try for her. He loves these thoughts. He loves her.
" I am not a dirty god
And I don't have a dirty body
And I am alone only half of the time
The other half I am only hiding
And she was getting high
Yeah, she was smoking pot
I'm pretty sure I am the only guy
She's hooked up with tonight
But probably, no, probably not.
"
Here he's feeling that somethings up. He doesn't know why it's going on. The first two statements seem to show he feels uncertain of how he's managed to cause a rift. He knows that he's alone but almost by choice. Half the time he's alone because he truly is, the other half he is avoiding those who are reaching out to him. His morals or convictions are being challenged for her. The last three lines are pure doubt and uncertainty. He's is in a dark place where nothing makes sense because he knew he loved her but she may love someone else or not even be the person he thought she was. His pretty sure he's the only guy refers to him not wanting to accept she's not who he thought she was. But probably not speaks to all the red flags he can't ignore.
"Who did I think I was,
Who did I think that I could be?
Oh, how dare me,
Oh, how dare me.
And there's a voice in the back of my head
In the back of my head, says, 'let 'em be.
Just let them be happy.'
I'm gonna go crazy"
This is his frustration and hurt because to him this is what THEY both wanted. What she'd led him to believe. The last four lines here are the most tragic in this song. If the person you loved fell for someone else would you care about anything other than her happiness? Frankly the other person they fell for really doesn't really cross your mind. Just her. Unless she's with someone he actually cares about. Then he just wants what's best for BOTH of them. He doesn't want to be in the way of there happiness. But it kills him. It eats him. He's going crazy. Remember this is a person who's alone. So two of the people he cares for the most care for each other enough to through him to the wolves. His world is upside down.
"I am the water in a puddle in the shade of a tree
I freeze over, you are the sun
You cannot touch me
And the tree feels bad
I can tell by the way that it felt
But it still won't move
So, the ice won't melt.
No, it still won't move
So, the ice won't melt"
She's all he wants. All he need to be happy. The tree is the other person he cares for. And he knows that the tree cares for him. But not enough to give him want he wants. Trees need sunlight to grow. He knows that she would do so much for him. He knows she really wants him.
"But I am not a dirty god
I don't have a dirty body
And I am alone only half of the time
The other half I am only hiding"
This is him reiterating who he is and selective he is when it comes to letting people in. And how he doesn't know what else he could have done differently. What could he have changed to avoid this? He was the good person who only wanted her.
"Keep my body alive.
Keep my arms reaching out towards anyone"
He's free falling. Spiraling into despair, pain, loneliness. But he's searching for anyone to help him. To catch him before he's hit the bottom. He just needs ANYONE to be there.
"But I am not a dirty god
And I don't have a dirty body
And I am alone only half of the time
The other half I am only hiding
And we were getting high
And I was smoking pot
I'm pretty sure I am the only guy
She's hooked up with tonight
But probably, no, probably not."
Here he once more states who he is but also show that he so into being with her that he would change into who SHE wanted HIM to be. But none of anything they shared really mattered because she wanted more.
It's 3:30. Time to sleep. Haha
Just my opinions on the song.
