I think that the genius of this song is the fact that it could be so hopeless sounding and beautiful at the same time so that the song both complimented and conctradicted itself. The catchy guitar, to me, represents that everything on the surface is happy and right. The depressing words show how, if you look beneath the surface, you find a whole world of darkness and hurt. It really is brilliant. In many ways, its about more than suicide, its practically a world view of everything having a nice appearance but a sad and futile depth to it. Genius in every sense
LOL me too! This song is played on the radio often and recently I started realizing that there was more to this song than meets the ear!! Hence, here I am @ songmeanings. I agree with your interpretation whataweirdo, too bad I got to it 8 years after you posted it...

I think this reflection on this song is outstanding, but there is one part that is still confusing me. What do you think he means when he says "I want to turn you on"? The only meaning I can think of is obviously sexual, but I do not think the meaning would be that obvious. What is your opinion?
