It's happening soon, it's happening soon
It's scent has been blowing in my direction
To me it is new, to me it is new
And it's not gonna change for anybody

And it's gonna be our last memory
And it's led me on and on to you

It's gotta be here, it's gotta be there
It's gotta be now or I'll lose forever
To me it is strange, this feeling is strange
But it's not gonna change for anybody

And it's gonna be our last memory
And it's led me on and on to you

Accuse me
Trust me, I never knew
That you were the one
You were the one

And it's gonna be our last memory
And it's led me on and on to you

    General Comment:I think it's about someone who is gonna have sex with their friend. And then it gets awkward after that.

    My Interpretation:This has a lot to do with a strong friendship or even love in my opinion. There is not enough time to be had to start out weakly with whatever is trying to be achieved so you have to go to the extremities, even if it means losing them forever.

    On top of this feeling there is a merging of hate or dislike.. Mixed feelings are involved here. They understand that they have to show this extreme feeling now or they will lose against the regret that they have inside, or more deeply, the sense of needing to beat that person at everything they do, so they can seem better all the time.

    Nobody can stop this feeling "It's not going to change for anybody" the extreme feeling has gone beyond the point where resolution and peace can be found. Even the one talking finds it weird to those around them. And the feeling has changed them as a person, adding to the helplessness of the situation.

    That's my interpretation anyway, it's a very good song with true lyrics that can be applied to many situations.

    Song Meaning:This to me is reminding me of how losing your virginity, because you loose it just like that. Matt expressed that sex was new to him:
    It's happening soon, it's happening soon..
    To me it is new, to me it is new..

    He didn't think it would have been her he lost it with:
    Accuse me
    Trust me, I never knew
    That you were the one
    You were the one

    And he left her after the event:
    And it's gonna be our last memory
    And it's led me on and on to you

    This is what I thought, I cannot see how he expressed that he was gay...you dirty minded people

    General Comment:For some reason this song always makes me thing of friendship and separation. It leaves me with a bittersweet feeling.

    General Comment:If you look at the theme that seems more or less persistant in most of the songs on Showbiz, it leads you down a bit of a different train of thought. I don't think it's a love song as much as it is a song about finally getting a record deal. They're finally making it, but at the same time it's a little different than they imagined things working out, hense the odd tempo and strange dissonance in places. It seems like they're personifying "showbiz" in most of these songs, I don't see why he couldn't be doing the same in this one. That seems to fit with a few of the definitions I've seen for "fillip" in here.

    General Comment:Wow @ the comments on this song. lol This song does not mean Matt is gay...

    Anyways, I think this song is about realizing that someone is the one for you (to me it is new), even though they knew it all along (it's not gonna change for anybody). After you realize the person is the one for you, you want them right then and there (it's gotta be now or I'll lose forever) but the person who loved you all along thinks you were just leading them on the entire time (trust me, I never knew that you were the one) and doesn't want to be with you anymore.

    No idea if that made any sense, my mind is all over the place.
