| I don't think this song is really about strength in singleness because in the third verse he says; "Sure it's kind of lonely Yeah it's sort of sick Being your own one and only Is a dirty selfish trick" He's saying that even though it's hard to be alone he'd rather be by himself than be hurt again... I can totally relate. This is kind of a common theme for him, that it's better to be alone than to be in a relationship that's ultimately going to hurt you. his earlier song "april fools" is along the same lines. | |
