I fly/I soar/this I adore. & then like a locomotive
the sound of your sorrow comes. I’m tired of the way it feels
I only apologized to you to make you feel better
But I think I’ve outgrown that horsehair sweater.
I’d rather be alone
you’re ‘bout as reliable as paper shoes in bad weathers,
but pain will roll off like water on feather.
You’d fly/you’d soar. But then like a locomotive
the sound of your sorrow comes. I’m tired of the way it feels
I only apologized to you to make you feel better but I think I’ve outgrown that horsehair sweater.
I’d rather be on my own
you’re ‘bout as reliable as paper shoes in bad weathers,
but pain will roll off like water on feathers. I’m tired of the way it feels
I only apologized to you to make you feel better
but I think I’ve outgrown that horsehair sweater.
I’d rather be alone
You’re ‘bout as reliable as paper shoes in bad weathers
but pain will roll off like water on feathers.

You’re ‘bout as reliable as paper shoes in bad weathers
but pain will roll off like water on feathers.

I just love how they match perfectly a songs lyrical meaning and a song's metaphor with the way it sounds. I feel like the singer is saying how they enjoy flying and being free, but then the sorrow locomotive (which is grounded) pulls them down. The singer can't enjoy being the person the are for the other's depressive ways. The singer is trying to tell the other person that they aren't even allowing themselves to be happy. Neither one can be happy for the demand of the sorrow. The singer feels that can't lean on the other for support, they are unreliable. There's no reason to continue the path, so just let it be done. The pain will go away.
So, to me, it's about an extremely passionate person. "You'd fly, You'd soar" means that when things are good for this person, everything is so amazing. But when "the sound of your sorrow comes," it's just so overwhelming, like a locomotive, that it just drowns out the rest of the relationship, even the good.
But maybe he wouldn't be in this situation if he "only apoligized to make you feel better," and everything was just out in the open instead of secretly harboring these negative thoughts that slowly drive the original person crazy, bringing on the sorrow in a constant circle.. but that's personal experience again;D
But the next day, she's willing to put it all aside, she realizes maybe she was a little too dramatic or whatever, but he's just not putting up with it anymore..
Some people can't be happy with themselves, no matter how hard they try, and they attempt to look outside of themselves for affirmation and validation.
In the song, Brandon is explaining that he loves this person, but that he can't sit back and wait for them, because he can't move on with them dragging him back.
i think it's about waking up and realising it's a chore to be with your partner, that you've grown tired of walking on eggshells..
