VERSE 1

She ionizes and atomizes
then she turns into sunlight.

VERSE 2

He realizes and itemizes
pulls harder than gravity.

VERSE 3

She ionizes and atomizes
then she turns into sunlight,
for as sun lightbulbs will
make an absence of dark
but the light just ain't there still, 
and she said,

"I am feeling emp-ty-he-he-he, 
the real lights can make you hea-vy-y-y.
But never ever really empty."

	"he realizes and itemizes pulls harder than gravity" he knows she's somewhat untouchable for the moment and he's "itemizing" i.e. getting his priorities in order. obviously she comes in high on the list since he's pulling harder than gravity. "flourescent lightbulbs will make and absense of dark, but the light just aint there still and she said 'i'm feeling empty, the real lights can make you heavy but never ever really empty flourescent lights will always equal empty.' " that's talking about no matter how many lightbulbs you have, artificial light is not even half as good or wanted or needed as actual sunlight.

	this song is protesting flourescent light bulbs fight the power oh and for the most part the girl is just singing what isaac is singing

	the song is about ants and the decision the queen has to make when she realizes they\'re too many of them.

	I took it as a Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus thing. She is the kind of person who lives on feelings and emotions He is the kind of person who lives on Facts and numbers Although he wouldnt change the way he is, he realizes that the way she is, although different than him, is exactly what he needs.

	clearly enter and disposable are on the money. "he realizes" she found his stash "and itemizes" what remains. she couldn't help herself, "pulls harder than gravity."
