who said that i wasn't right?
i've lived for years without a life
don't have a sould on my side
still ridiculed despite how hard that i have tried
don't take me under your wing
i don't need a hand, don't need anything
i've got a roof over my head
as if i'd rather be alone with me instead

close yet far
drop me a line and tell me how the hell you are
and i'll tip my hat to those who can't believe it's me
and i never never never ever wanted this to be

i can hear the sounds of the city
sunrise and set are the same to me
a hesitating pulse is good company
and my reflection offers no apology
but who said that i wasn't right?
and i've lived for years without a life
don't have a sould on my side
still ridiculed despite how hard that i have tried

close yet far
drop me a line and tell me how the hell you are
and i'll tip my hat to those who can't believe it's me
and i never never never ever wanted this to be

close yet far
drop me a line and tell me how the hell you are
and i'll think of days when there was something to believe
and i never never never ever wanted this to be

    Song Meaning:To me it sounds like no one though he could make it big or amount to anything for the matter. Specifically family. He didn't care he didn't need or want help from anyone he's used to being a lone wolf because there wasn't anyone there to begin with. Or so it seemed. But, still he wants to know how maybe his parents are doing the still thinks about them it's family after all. He tips his hat into respect to the people that believe in him now. Even though he never wanted to be famous or to make it big.

    That's what I gather.

    General Comment:Hahaha, ohhhh I remember listening to this when I was 13 about some boy.
    I'm 22 now and listening to it under a completely different pretense.
    Music is magic that way. ...no homo.

    General Comment:wow.. first comment in 2 years. lol.
    ah well. I love this song. Someone sent it to me at some hideous hour in the morning and I instantly loved it. Kept humming it so I knew I had to get the whole album.

    It really is sad though how I can relate..

    "who said that i wasn't right?
    i've lived for years without a life
    don't have a soul on my side
    still ridiculed despite how hard that i have tried"

    dammit >.<

    General Comment:I think this song is about a man who was kidnapped and given paranormal powers from a mad scientist, and as he slowly realizes that he's a undying monster, and starts losing his mind, as he approaches a city, finally trying to fit in with his disability/powers, and its about how he murders and kills his friends that he used to know, and how he's sorry that he's killing them.

    My Interpretation:I think song is about a guy who got sent to jail. people in jail are close to the people around them physically, but cannot communicate with them. and you dont have much of a life there.

    General Comment:i absolutly adore this song

    its one of those ones i could listen to over and over, it reminds me of an x bf that im not quite over yet :/

    'close yet far' you are so close to me, just 2 minutes walk, but so far away, i would never be able to just walk to your house like i used to :(

    'drop me a line and tell me how the hell you are' i wish you would just talk to me, tell me how you have been, what you have been up to, like the old times

    'and i tip my hat to those who cant believe its me' this is so out of character for me, i dont do this, i even dumped him, but cant let go, normally i can just walk away and never look back, but there is something different about this one.

    'though i never never never never wanted this to be' i didnt want to get rid of you in the first place, that was just the way it was going and i didnt want to get hurt again, but i thought it would be easier than this.

    well thats just what it means to me really, an absolutly amazing song xxx
