Lyrics for Jake as interpreted by lay entwined

Jake Lyrics
I'm going as far as I can go, away from here,
Away from you, Jake, and the hole you've sunk me into.
I wish that I could belong here, with you, and just be,
But that's not all that I'm about.
Your life is built on accidents, like meeting me.
You write everything down in your grocery list - people do this.
Even insects buzz like airplanes, why can't we fly away?
I'm going as far as I can go.
Your dad died, cause his heart hurt, arking away his forty-five years,
Dragging your mom along.
I don't want that, neither do you. Neither do you.
If I am not fun, and I am not interesting,
Perhaps I am not interested in you, neither are you.
You can't stand in front of an oven, cause it's warm,
And the fumes are dangerous.
I'm going as far as I can go.
Away from here, away from you, Jake,
And the hole you've sunk me into.
I wish that I could belong here, with you, and just be.
But that's not all that I'm about to do.

whomever he is, he drags her down and while she wants to be with him, she wants more than that, like perhaps an actual ralationship instead of an accident or another item on a list, so she is leaving

this has always been somewhat of an anthem for me. it's a response to someone wanting you to do whatever they ask of you while making you conform to their rules. this is the song i listen to when i'm sick of it. when i have decided: you know what? i'm going to leave all of this behind. i'm being held back and i'm gaining nothing, and though i care for the person, it just isn't worth trying anymore.

"if I am not fun, and I am not interesting
perhaps I am not interested in you,"

i love that. it seems when voicing displeasure with how a person treats me, often they come back with "you're not worth treating well/you're no fun," etc, and sometimes it's just like "fuck you, you're not exactly a prize yourself."

Malora, my interpertation of that line ("even insects buzz like airplanes, why can't we fly away?)is that even little things can have monumental effects at times, and that all the little things have just added up and she wants out. My favorite line of this song is "You can't stand in front of an oven if it's warm, 'cause the fumes are dangerous". Beautiful, isn't it?
