Enrique Iglesias – Tired Of Being Sorry

• 0
  My Interpretation:This song could be about cheating, I see that, but.... this is how I see it.
  
  
  Whenever I hear this song, I think of the singer (I don't mean to specifically attach this meaning to Enrique's personal life) as someone who has gotten themselves surrounded by the lifeless, "fake" people of 'Hollywood' so to speak. He has this girl, (or had her) who warned him he would lose himself in the life of fame, but he thought he needed it. So now he is always sorry for the life he leads.
  
  I don't know why
  You wanna follow me tonight
  When the rest of the world
  With whom I've crossed and I've quarreled
  
  Lets me down so
  A thousand reasons that I know
  To share forever the unrest
  With all the demons I possess
  Beneath the silver moon
  
  Why do you still follow me (and love me) when you should hate me? The things I have done, the demons with in me, make me unworthy of you.
  
  
  Maybe you were right (I've lost myself to this life)
  But baby I was lonely (I thought I needed the fame)
  I don't wanna fight
  I'm tired of being sorry (That I didn't listen to you)
  
  
  Eight and Ocean Drive (Is there maybe a club at the corner of Eight and Ocean? That would represent the life of fame)
  With all the vampires and their brides (All of the fake, lifeless people of "Hollywood" and such)
  Were (or We're) all bloodless and blind
  And longing for a life (A better, real life)
  Beyond the silver moon (Vampires traditionally can only come out at night. They are trapped in darkness. The people the singer is speaking about are trapped in their lonely, lifeless world, and can't escape from it)
  
  
  
  
  I'm still in the street, yeah (He's still in this life)
  Crying out for you (Crying out for the girl he lost or is losing)
  No one sees me
  But the silver moon (I think this could be literal, standing under the moon and contemplating the things you have lost and what you have become / Or the silver moon could embody the life he lives and is now sorry for, as the 'silver moon' represents being trapped in the life in the second verse. He is still trapped under his 'silver moon.'
  
  
  
  So far away
  So outer space (From the life he once had, or wants to lead)
  I've trashed myself
  I've lost my way (Look what I've done to myself in this life, look what I've become)
  I've got to get to you, got to get to you (I've got to get back to you - back to what's right and real)

    Just the location of the vampires' lair. I see it like the "club" scene from Blade, but I like the directors interpretation in this video.

  General Comment:This song is about a man going out somewhere and his gf is following him bc he's cheated on her before. and he's saying she was right in suspecting him of cheating but that he was lonely so thats why he did it. It also hints that he's ready to leave her bc he wants to do other things and he's sick of fighting with her about it. but at the same time he still wants her. he just wants an open relationship, i guess

  General Comment:i think the guy was tired of fighthing all the time with the girlfriend...so he went out one night and cheated on her of course with a vampire! so now he can't go back toi his girlfriend cause he's a vampire..."i dont know why you want to follow me tonight" means tha the girlfriend want to join him to his place now but he wont..so thats why he disapears at the end..
  
  he tired od being sorry cause he did a mistake and now has to pay for the rest of his life...
  
  Enrique his so freaking gorgeous...i just love him!!!!!! i saw him first show on Montreal WOW!!!!!!
