This song means a LOT to me because I can relate to it completely. I think it's about a relationship that's falling apart. It perfectly describes a relationship I was in once. My boyfriend completely ignored me, he didn't even notice he was doing it, and he was always waiting on someone else, and making fun of me even but he never realized how much I was taking it to heart. "But you're coming back again... You don't mean to waste my time..." DESPITE what an ass the person's girlfriend is, he can't let go of the relationship, he doesn't really want to blame her and says it's not her fault, she doesn't mean it.
And then the chorus is what the person is feeling but can't say. They don't want this person to try to tell them what to do or explain things to them because she has absolutely no idea what's really going on with him. He is going through things that person can't relate to at all and is trying to find himself and doesn't need her help. This is "deeper than you get", the girlfriend/partner is happy and simple and doesn't understand this suffering or searchign or any of it.
Then the next verse... He's given up on it completely now, the person just doesn't get it. He just goes around talking to people now, and it doesn't really matter who. "So much for nothing, but nothing means so much", they're never seeing eachother, never talking, never doing anything, there's nothing. And this nothing means so much, it's horrible.
Then, again, she doens't pick up on what he's going through. She doesn't notice when he's trying to reach out and tell her but can't, she's just off having fun with other people. Talking to her is stupid, it's all been said before. Now, they're talking again, he's hearing something, but he wishes she'd just say more.... She's not on the same level as him. It's going off again, the relationship is falling apart. He's trying to just hold on, but she's going off in his mind, going down... it's got to end.
This song is word for word what my boyfriend Max was like. It's kinda shocking how much it describes it.
