Megan's confidence is wild here, flexing about her relationship is on a diff level and she's not shy about claiming her spot.

Also the 'Love Jones, baby you 90s fine" is such a dope line

Well, the song itself I think is about communism and communist countries. They're trying to present an image that everything is all happy here and there are no problems here when the problems are multiplying exponentially. On another level, it could be about being on stage having to entertain people when the world has a lot of bad things in it.

Generally, I think this song is about growing up and the pain this brings along. It's a scream of pain directed to all those adults who think that young people have nothing to worry about and don't take youngsters seriously. She is opposing strongly to this general illusion of a carefree youth.

"We are the reckless we are the wild youth" to me is meant in an ironic way and is the bottomline of the song, cause clearly this person doesn't feel reckless and wild. At least not in a carefree way as young people are generally supposed to be....

She is painting an image of her generation: young people who have no clue where to go and how to live life. They (want to) die before they grow old (be it by suicide, traffic accidents, drugs,...). They set fire to their insides for fun (literally by smoking sigarettes, but also metaphorical by revolting and experimenting with extreme opinions) They don't understand love. They are just trying...and hurting. The way of life doesn't seem to make sense.
She lost her home (=childhood or feeling of safety) and some particular event or person caused it. She blames this person for it.
No matter how dark the song is, somehow I feel she knows this is just how life goes and that's why she is not keeping the song on a strictly personal level, but is also reaching out to others with sentences like "if you're still in love than you are the lucky ones". She does know love or a feeling of home is possible, but at this moment she just doesn't believe it is meant for her, because she is aching too much.
I refuse to believe this is Phil Selway's voice.

We all want it to be "mature" children, me too lol - cause you know a LOT of us have been singing it that way since we WERE mature children, some almost 40 years ago (tho some prefer charred children? ok). But the liner notes themselves say "but your children," as well as "taken forever." But we're Gen X, so whatever, keep singing mature children and and change us forever or changes forever or whatever takes you back to the salad days in your mind and body. Bc lifes too short man.
