| The Line "They're always fighting with aching joints" is actually suppose to be "THAT ALL THIS fighting with aching joints" | |

| I haven't got much to give about the song meaning (I do agree with -Silversun- though) but I just love this song, it's possibly the best track off Eyes Open. I didn't think much of it when I first heard it, but when I listened to it afterwards it really grew on me. Great song. | |

| The falsetto at the end is so striking and amazing. It makes me admire Gary all the more. I remember not really thinking much of the song, then one night I was doing homework with Eyes Open playing and suddenly this amazing sound just came into my ears and it was the tail end of this song. I can't get over it. | |

| Somehow, Gary Lightbody managed to release a song that describes a situation I was going through at the exact time. So get ready for a LINE BY LINE breakdown! "I wanted something, that's purer than the water, Like we were." He wants to find something that was as good as what he had with her. But not quite with her. "It's not there now, Ineloquence and anger, are all we have" Further proving the point that whatever magic the couple once had, it is now gone and replaced by anger. "Like Saturns rings, an icy loop around me, too hard to hold" The female has turned cold towards him and it's too hard to take. "Lash out first, at all the things we don't like, or understand" They don't quite realize that it's ending, but they are prepared to fight each other about it. "And it's beginning to get to me I know more of the stars and sea Than I do of what's in your head Barely touching in our cold bed" It displeases him that he seems to know trivial things but not what she's thinking (so true!) And now they don't even show affection to each other "Are you beginning to get get my point? They're always fighting with aching joints It's doing nothing but tire us out No one knows what this fight's about" Neither of them quite know what they're fighting about it, but they are going to fight about it anyways, no matter how tired they are "The answer phone, the lonely sound of your voice, frozen in time" This ones a bit of a stretch I suppose, but I interpret it as the female has called our protagonist and either dropped a bomb or broken up with him over the phone, frozen in time meaning that he will forever remember that moment. "It's so thrilling but also wrong Don't have to prove that you are so strong 'Cause I can carry you on my back After our enemies attack" It might seem exhilirating but it is a stupid thing to do just to prove a point. Our hero is prepared to "carry" her, trhough all of what others might say of their relationship. "I tried to tell you before I left But I was screaming under my breath You are the only thing that makes sense Just ignore all this present tense" My absolute favorite line in any song ever! To me!, it means that the protagonist wanted to tell her something but was so angry he couldn't manage the words, what he wanted to say was that she was the only thing that made sense "Just ignore all this present tense" meaning, at least, she once was. But now, nothing makes sense. "We need to feel breathless with love And not collapsed under its weight I'm gasping for the air to fill My lungs with everything I've lost" We need to feel breathless with love, it should be effortless and not as hard as it was for them hence "collapsing". Gasping for the air to fill, he is trying to regain everything that he has put into there relationship and lost because of it. So my interpretation kinda jumps around a bit, but that's what i hear when i listen to this masterpiece of a song. Like I said, an exact same situation to one i've experienced. | |

| Well. I have interpratated this song as a relationship where the couple dont know each other as well as they thought when times go bad. | |

| I love the ending of this song also. Especially when it gets to "It's so thrilling but also wrong" (Which also sounds to me "It's so thrilling but oh so wrong") with the guitar (?) in the background coming in. The ending is absolutely beautiful. | |

| gary lightbody stated in an interview that 'its beginning to get to me' is about mark mc cleland leaving the band... now im confused... "we need to feel breathless with love" and "barely touching in our cold bed" doesent seem like a song you'd write about a friend.... | |
