| when you get the clear feeling of not belonging. stuck among the wrong crowd or simply down because you long to be with someone that isn’t there for you..(anymore) simple life is something we all aspire to. always trying to give it a shot, but when you can’t relate or more importantly if something is missing you just always come back to the need of something that means more 1 | |

| i think this song is about realising just how much shit you have put up with and how unhappy it has made you. doing things for other people, even being in a relationship you're not happy with. i just love this song. it's so brutal. anyways, that's what i think... | |

| It's like going out whith some good friends but don't feeling good with them... But you keep going out with them to prevent from being alone, and when you're with them you keep wondering if you'd still go out with them ... 'cause you don't enjoy yourself and wonder if you are really a friend to them. | |

| For me, this song was always about what I wanted to happen, and how terrible I was at trying to get to the situation. The asleep in your arms was what I wanted- what I got was a lost friend, depression, and painful memories. So I hated me. The fucker. | |

| the lyric should actually be: "WRITING in the dark air" And, to me, the song seems to be about E feeling lonely, even though he's considered a popular guy - a rock star, at this point. Even around all these people, he feels sad and alone - and is thinking of one person in particular. The end could be him feeling bitter towards that person, for not being with him - or him talking to himself, hating himself for feeling this way. | |

| I agree somewhat with shockdelica's interpretation, but not fully. To me it's always seemed like this is a breakup song... This explains why he can't seem to figure out what to do with himself. Feeling lonely, but not feeling like doing anything about it. Just sitting around staring into the night. The "Something about you / Something about spending the afternoon / Asleep in your arms"-bit seems like a memory, and the closing lines are like his way of convincing himself that instead of missing this someone desperately, he tries to get angry instead, you know, "trying to vent this terrible passion"... But in reality, he doesn't hate this particular someone, no matter how hard he tries. | |
