Lyric discussion by NeglectedField 

Everyone's reading far too much into the whole homosexuality thing. My take on it is this:

  • You're unconfident, socially awkward (i.e. 'shyness that is criminally vulgar') and aren't from some massively rich background or anything that might otherwise compensate
  • You vent your frustration at the fact you're still single and lonely but your friends condescendingly tell you that it's because of your attitude, but even if they might be right, you don't want to hear it because you know you deserve to be loved; to you it's a basic right
  • People seem to hook up with other people at bars and clubs etc, so you go there but you feel awkward, intimidated and/or alienated and as you see everyone else making out and enjoying themselves, you go home and feel utter despair (or some variant on that scenario)
  • Friends say "oh don't worry, you're bound to find someone" but after all these years still, nothing, and it feels like all hope is lost

Yeah, pretty much. I saw your comment after posting a similar interpretation. In my case I did use my personal experience to detail it but yeah, it's pretty much the same as yours.

@NeglectedField I agree with you. To me it doesn't matter about the speakers sexuality, he is wanting a human connection.

@NeglectedField This is a nice summary and it's neither too long nor short. At least for me. I'm not from a "massively" rich background but I grew up more than comfortably and it didn't stop me from being absolutely scared shitless of girls. That's my only nit-pick. :0)
