The girl is the type to seize the day and live in the present and never foresaw their end future. He didn't want to bring these feelings up with her at seperation date, so he feels depressed for leaving her now before their unforeseen future came about. Maybe like senior year and going off to college, all the time wasted with this girl is a waste if they go to seperate states. This future is happening and he meets new people. The final blow is relating to realizing all this time and effort will be for nothing in maybe 1 year or w/e time set, so he wants to put things to an end. He doesn't want to get involved with her because he knows in the future something will happen that will end their relationship. Thinking about buying her gifts and his mind unravels as he travels his routines everyday. Since he met her, everything around him makes him think of her. This one girl has qualities that satisfy him and has him hooked over all the past women he's met. My InterpretationYour subtleties, they strangle meĪ girl requires mental acuteness or penetration and this keeps him thinking about her everyday without realizing it. He's been keeping these feelings forever and now he's letting them out, and she's the first to hear about it. She maybe yelled at him and was a bitch, but it made him realize how much he didn't want to be with her. It's his fault for ignoring all the problems the relationship had. Now he's single but it's better than being with her. Here he says that nothing can fix their relationship. In relationships, usually someone will say "or we're fighting because I've been jealous lately/started my new job today/whatever", or they think one little solution will fix their problems. Just a little insight won't make this right She's also finding things in him she doesn't like anymore, and when the two look at each other, they don't feel love, they feel disdain. He doesn't know where they went wrong (as mentioned above). You're finding things that you didn't know It hurts to be alone, but it feels better to be alone than to be with her. I'm taking the weight of our relationship off our shoulders as I give the final blow aka break up with you, tell you it's over.ĭarnkess turning to light represents not only the night turning to day, but his life going from being dark (with her) to being light (happy again) when he's alone. I am breaking up with you now, I need to be alone. Things are getting intense, but you have to leave tonight. I can however tell you that I'm tired of needing you or the things you give me, because in the end, you only make me miserable. I can't explain where we went wrong or exactly what is wrong with this relationship. The little things about you, the games you play, they kill me. He can't be happy with her, even if she does have some great qualities, and he realizes he has to be miserable alone for a while in order to EVER be happy again. He's tired of trying to fix the problem because it's unfixable - he just wasn't meant to be with her. It's about being in a relationship where he realizes they're both unhappy, and he is tired of playing games with her. General CommentI really like this song, prob my fave by AAR. It's better that I see it through your eyes Just a little insight will make this right
