| this song gives me the shivers. its so good. but like a lot of these songs, the meaning is pretty elusive. weird relationship between two people | |

| i think the "searchin for myself/youself in other peoples eyes" has to do with the person dating other people. the relationship is dragging on ..too much fighting and no progress..its just not working out but they still love eachother.. he is wondering what else is out there and wants more so he is looking for it..and she doesnt want that. later on she realizes that the relationship is comming to an end so she does the same sums it up in this quote: "An ocean floods my heart I'm sorry that I let you down You know just how I feel tonight This is everything I wanted You've been searching for yourself In other people's eyes" | |

| first off, every has to realize that the lawrence arms always has a little metaphor underneath everything. but i think this what it means. it tells how this guy is feeling either really lonely or sad or both [cuz of a girl] and is sick of everything and cuts his wrists. and then the girl finds out and finally starts to care now and its too much for her at once. the verse "the mirror is tellin half truths..." its him looking into the mirror even he looks alright he really isnt. "these stolen words feel like mine" i think it comes from the old line 'I could die for you' and thats what happened. then he realizes that this was a big maistake and hits him at once and he starts apologizing to her. and he tells the girl how he knows what shes feeling. i dont qute get the line then "you've been searching for yourself in other people's eyes" i think maybe shes too scared too be herself and so she just acts like her friends. the finally bit i think is finally the guy goes to a counsler and no matter how much they try to help him he cant tell them how he feels. a really deep song from the kings of chicago | |
