This song is really pretty I think it's one of my favorites so far.
"They're waiting to hate you
So give them an excuse
They say that it changed you
I know that can't be true"
I think when he says that he means that they hate her for a reason, but it's not true, so give them an excuse means go ahead and kill yourself, they'll hate you, and then, they really will have an excuse.
"I came in the entrance the makeup girl went through
And waited for ages, I waited there for you"
I think here he is dead as well, but he's in heaven, and if she suicided she'll prolly go to hell, so he waited at the entrance for ages for her to meet him there, but she didn't come.
"Hats off to my distant hope
I'm held back by a velvet rope
And he's behind the wall the smoke machine has made between us
And if he does exist, if camera clicking, green room guests swirl round the man whose real life can be touched
Then I will do just that much"
I think that this is my favorite part of the song, here I think that he means he hoped so much but his hope could not do anything about it, and when he says "He" I think he is referring to God. and theres a wall of smoke separating them, him being in heaven and her in hell, and he's saying that if god is doing that and his real life can be touched, that being what it takes to save her, then he will go just that much.
"Hats off to my distant hope
A little lie, a puff of smoke
My street tonight's on fire with hope
You'll be there, you'll see us
I've got my ear against the screen
I'll feel your feelings crackling
For every single inch of me, I'm going to make you mean it
With every single cell of me, I'm going to make you mean the words you sigh
You lie
Goodbye
Goodbye"
I think again, this time he is referring his hope to not her being in heaven but actually loving him. I think that she had smoked and that is what she was doing when she said it to him. But he had hope she loved him and he had hope he'd see her. by my ear against the screen means that he can not see her but hear what she is feeling. and he feels her feelings fall appart because she is dead. and if he does get her to join him, he will make her mean the words she said, which are that she loves him. But she doesn't so he weds her.
