The song does interest me though, it seems to be about someone living with unreasonably high expectations, something that is starting to ruin them. Though the line "feed off me" does introduce a contrast. Like it may not be their own fault for the unreachable expectations. It might be the fault of the one who expects from the one the song is sung for. Rarely are expectations ever given without purpose. This can easily link into the line "You don't see, exactly what your doing to me" Which can relate to how the person doesn't know the expectations that their setting are too high.
"Give me a reason, to turn and run... give me a reason to burn this house down, give me a reason, I wish you would. Wish you would, wish you would." This part of the song seems to say that the character desperately wants to break away from their current life. That virtually anything would be better. That they should just leave, not just to get away, but to spite the other. Or burn down their home for the same reason. "Give me a reason, for dissaster and I'll live happily ever after" Reinforcing my previous statement. But then comes the "reason" they want to do it. They can't take it anymore and they believe they should take matters into their own hands. But they need a reason. Their thinking about it but not willing to act without reason. "If only" Instead of "I'm Gonna"
The song is about escape through a desolate daydream, at least... I think so.
My notes: I started really thinking about this song recently when my life started getting complicated, college, driving, my job, my school, homework, preparing for hollidays, Ect ect... And i've been nothing but yelled at in my own home recently and it's starting to drive me absolutely mad. it's why I can relate to this song so well, because it's so interesting to me.
if anyone else could, I just like hearing people's opinions so please don't make me the only one to post here.
