the question about this song is "who wrote it?" if adam wrote it then it is definitely about john's sister, cheating on him. Last, some posts were on the right track bringing up the bands history. the difference between "music" and "noise" is emotion. i hate the name of the genre, "emo," because all music is emotional. also, why is singing about a girl pussy shit? since the beginning of music, rock especially, 90% of the songs created have been about girls. Third, don't look up taking back sunday lyrics and then post saying "taking back sunday is emo-pussy shit." if you dont like the band, then you shouldnt be here. Second, i agree with a bunch of the people who posted saying, "dont just post and not address the meaning of the song, this forum is about lyrics not about approval or disapproval." however, most of those people immediately contradicted themselves by not including their view of the song after saying that. General Commentfirst off, of course this is about a girl who is involved with two guys, written from the perspective of one of them. I just need to keep you in mind as something larger than life"). He knows he should just move on or resign himself to what's happening, but he can't because to him she's still amazing despite what she's done and he's still in love with her ("I stay wrecked and jealous. She's acting innocent though and pretending that she's not the one to blame ("She'll destroy us all before she's through and find a way to blame somebody else"). He hates that he's in love with her and can't move on to someone else while she's with another guy ("Why can't I feel anything from anyone other than you?") He sees the mess they're in now as all her fault - she went out with him even though she could never love him, and then cheated on him ("All of this is all your fault"). He won't ask if she loves him because he doesn't want to hear her say that she doesn't, which he knows is the case ("I will never ask.
He's planned out things to say to her to keep her with him but won't even bother saying them("A thousand clever lines unread on clever napkins"). The best he can hope for is that nothing will change ("Hoping for the best just hoping nothing happens"). He's clearly quite obsessed with her ("I'm outside of your window") and thinks that her lover doesn't really care about her the way he does ("You're such a sucker for a sweet talker"). He imagines that she talks about him to her friends and plans to dump him ("you've got your gun to my head") and he realises that their relationship was never going to work out, he just wanted to believe it was ("this all was only wishful thinking"). He realises that what she really wants is to be with the other guy ("everything that you wanted Princess") He knows that either she'll stay with him, which will be good news for him but will hurt her ("My finger on the trigger") or she'll hurt him and leave him for the other guy ("Me face down across your floor") but that either way someone is gonna be hurt ("just so long as this thing's loaded"). She doesn't think he knows and tries to make excuses for it ("Don't bother Angel, I know exactly what goes on"). General CommentIt's probably pretty obvious that this song is about a guy whose girlfriend is cheating on him.
