	I thought it was about someone watching over someone who was suffering that was curious about the first person... someothing like that. Daniel has changed a lot... he's gone all old-school punk and it doesn't quite suit him. The way he yelled out indecipherable lyrics in the arias recently. And spray painted a political message. Nope. I liked him better before.

	Dude I love the video for this song. It's much better than the Without You video. And I totally agree with linkin park about the album. By the way, if you want to join the Silverchair Street Team, go to http://i-squad.net/cgi-bin/atlantic.cgi?sf=1&s=yes&u=makeyourself&a=Silverchair

	i agree about the 'chain a waterfall...' bit, it makes me shiver... he's so beautiful :) Hope he's better soon, and touring in the UK :) :S:

	it's always nice to see that there are some people out there who're as obsessed with this group as i am. i think everyone who's posted has the right idea about the song, but here's my interpretation.. (and keep in mind I just smoked a spliff) : this is one of my favourite songs because its an especially good hybrid of Daniel Johns' style of telling the story of the song through his (amazing, supernatural, other-worldly, godlike) voice, as well as through the music. Just take the opening riff for example - it's typical old-style Silverchair, hard and angry. Also, the video is full of chaps looking through peepholes into other doors, people looking around ("turning their heads whilst they wait for no one") to look at someone or something else, and some awesome CGI effects of Daniel and the rest of the group in a sort of X-ray effect. What it all hints at is looking closer, looking further than just the surface. But back to the opening riff - at first its heavy-metal, but then out of nowhere Daniel begins what seems to be a "cheesy" (and believe me I don't mean any discredit with the use of that word) love-song. The contrast between the riff and the verse suggest something hidden within something else... and finally I can move on.. The "Greatest View" that Daniel has, ladies and gentlemen, is in fact a a grand realisation, a threshold revelation that this person in whom he has placed so much fondness is, in reality, the antithesis of everything he wants. Thus the true meaning of the song is hidden within itself. I agree with most of what dearest helpless said above about the first verse... and I do think that the "when you want no one, and you got someone" line is a reference to 'the person's' frame-of-mind in their relationship with the Singer (note the capital "S"). But I'd like to point out an error in the above lyric sheet... In the first verse he says "and finally I know why you feel like letting go" ... but in the second he actually says "and finally I know why I feel you're letting me go" ... so he receives closure since he's realised that they're the "fungus in [his] milk"... The second verse's lyrics really are incredible - clearly he's talking about moving on, learning from his mistakes. And dearest helpless, as far as the "tactic toes" bit goes... packing one's toes is probably metaphorical of walking, leaving. The "winter" is also a metaphor, for the unknown. Winter represents difficulty, and literally it represents the cold. And then there's the best part.. "Chain a waterfall to burned and withered skin no one else will ever see" Again it's all metaphorical. Nothing about frozen waterfalls I think. He's saying cover up ("chain a waterfall") your wounds from this relationship ("burned and withered skin"), and bury them in your mind for no one else to see... This man is a poet. So yeah. That's what I think. Daniel - I love you.

No Picture Alex Average	#9 by Alex Moore at Jun 27, 2005 at 12:19 PM EST
	its seems kinda like a twist love song... like the only reason someone would be watching oversomeone else would be because the loved them and were watching out for them right?... or maybe cos the person watching is suspicious and is spying on the person being watched. LOL i reeeeeally dont know. If you know message me? cos im reeeeally curious. this song is great!
