Lyric discussion by caberdog 

this song is simple and intriguing at the same time. I agree about the obsession, but its not with one person, but with the gender in general. They are so infatuated with the other sex that they are 'nothing without them' [Strange infatuation seems to grace the evening tide. I'll take it by your side.] Every person they like, they get a strange obsession with them [Instant correlation sucks and breeds a pack of lies.] They know that thinking of them together will only be a lie. [Oversaturation curls the skin and tans the hide. I'll take it by your side.] Thinking about them too much hurts. [And every time you vent your spleen, I seem to lose the power of speech] Everytime they get rejected, it makes them choke up and lose self confidence [Your slipping slowly from my reach.] Will they ever find the 'one'

Maybe. Placebo are just amazing
