Lyric discussion by secret-x-stars 

i think Mongolev is on nearly the same track as i am on this song.

(i just want to note that i know that regina rarely writes songs pertaining to herself, but for ease of writing i'm just using 'she')

i think this song follows a similar theme to 'The Scientist' by Coldplay, where a person who thinks more in 'rational' and mathematical/scientific terms tries to explain and justify his irrational love emotions. she describes the person in question as an incurable humanist, and if we are to take the song sort of literally and she's teaching a science course, the narrator thinks in a 'scientific' way. the song is her way to desperately try and explain her feelings -- and love is such an irrational emotion -- in a way that makes sense to her (science).

perhaps she was seen as cold by the person in question and that's why the relationship broke apart, and she is trying to prove that she indeed can understand love and emotions, albeit in her own way.
