It seems to me that this song is about sex. It's about a guy whose frustrated with the girl he's sleeping with because she's too shy about sex.
so much for the light show
(He's given up on getting off with her)
pissing on while pissing off
sucking in a smokescreen
selling of a loose knit dream
(She's kind of a tease and it's screwing with his head and he's beginning to realize he's not going to get what he wants)
folding up the skyline
(Closing the curtains)
agreeing on a steep decline
(Laying down on the bed)
cant control this airplane
(Pretty sure "airplane" is a euphemism here. He's saying he's getting too excited)
being caught is just the same
headed for a lowlife
little lover's so polite
waking up the core needs
with smelling salts and faulty means
(He's saying she gets him excited and wakes up his "core needs" by acting very sexual, but it's really just a "smokescreen." "Being caught is just the same" means that she suddenly gets turned off, just like if someone had walked in on them. Pretty sure "headed for a lowlife" is another euphemism...)
did the bones collide
who let the bones collide
why did the bones collide
(This part sounds sarcastic to me. Like he's annoyed with her for saying he's going too fast when he doesn't think so)
(nikki: it's always the same way for me
ending in the same way.)
(This could either be her saying that it always ends with her being disappointed, or just a reiteration of what he is saying)
so much for the showdown
keeping up while keeping off
choking on the cold feet
(Things come to a stop because she gets "cold feet")
rolling up the plastic sleeves
(Condom)
can't control the slow ride
(Once again, he gets too excited)
little lover's so polite
turning off the low light
(She's so shy she doesn't want the lights on)
tell me did the bones collide
the bones collide
the bones collide
little lover�s so polite
so polite
so polite
turning off the low light
(nikki: it's always the same way for me
blue turns soft with time
broke remains, an everyday disguise
ending in the same way. . .the same way)
tell me did the bones collide
the bones collide
the bones collide
little lover�s so polite
so polite
so polite
The rest is pretty self explanatory.
That's my take on it. I could be totally wrong. Maybe I just have a dirty mind.
