| I think this song is about a one night-stand, but the girl wants more. Brian knows it won't work, his "Second Sight" is him being able to take another look and see what will really happen instead of what he'd like to believe. "Walk away to save your face, you never were a genius" - It's better for your reputation "Face" if you go. Again the theory she could be the actress Brian dated "You never were an actor", which all leads back to the reputation idea. | |

| I could be wrong but I remember reading somewhere that Brian dated some chick who was an actress..."You never were an actor." So that could have something to do with it. It could be more of a personal song to him. But, I could be wrong about this. | |

| Hmmm...I agree with every response so far, which is rare. But I have my own adaptation, which isnt entirely different, but I thought I'd post it anyway. I think it is about Brian and a girl getting together for a one night stand and doing crazy shit, and the next morning he wakes up beside her and is totally fine with it. However, I think the song hints that this girl wants more off him than he can offer, so the insults he throws at her (you never were an actress) are to make it easier for her to hate him, and in turn break away the emotions she feels for him I don't know, but this is one of the best songs off SWG, it serves as a perfect dancing song as well :] | |
