CazGirl Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 it's hard to deconstruct a sentence when the structure isn't around it. Let's look at the lyrics as a whole. You talk about life, you talk about death and everything in between Like it's nothing, and the words are easy You talk about me, you talk about you and everything I do Like it's something that needs repeating I don't need an alibi or for you to realise the things we left unsaid are only taking space up in our heads Make it my fault, win the game, point the finger, place the blame And curse me up and down, it doesn't matter now Cos I don't care if I ever talk to you again This is not about emotion, I don't need a reason not to care what you say, or what happened in the end This is my interpretation, and it don't... don't make sense The first two weeks turn into ten, I hold my breath and wonder when it will happen Does it really matter? If half of what you said is true and half of what I didn't do could be different Will it make it better? If we forget the things we know, would we have somewhere to go? The only way is down, I can see that now Cos I don't care if I ever talk to you again This is not about emotion, I don't need a reason not to care What you say or what happened in the end This is my interpretation, and it don't... don't make sense It's really not such a sacrifice If I never talk to you again, this is not about emotion I don't need a reason not to care, what you say, or what happened in the end This is my interpretation, and it don't... don't make sense and it don't have to make no sense to you at all Cos this is my interpretation Yeah, yeah, yeah Okay, so the first verse begins with Mika getting fed up with who he's with, they're not getting on so they break up hence the words in the chorus "i don't care if i ever talk to you again..." the second verse, i believe, is about when you break up with someone, the air is cleared and you have time to think. did i need to do that? were they right in what they said? could we get back together again if we realise our mistakes? that's what i believe it is, and Mika is kinda torn between getting back and letting it die, hence the "does it really matter?" and questioning "would it make it better?" "if we forget the things we know, would we have somewhere to go?" well...that's my interpretation anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahfromParis Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 my 2 cents : i think i remember, one of the first times he sang that song, he said it was actually a break-up song and it had be co-written with a girl. (i think it was Jodi Marr)... and he said something like "you can so tell that the second verse was written by a girl, because a man could never write something so complicated about a break-up" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(i think it was Jodi Marr)... and he said something like "you can so tell that the second verse was written by a girl, because a man could never write something so complicated about a break-up" The chorus seems to me to be written by a man. Tht's what a boy told me when we broke up and he didn't want to admit he was hurted by the situation. I know he suffered, but he was so proud that he left me without saying why ,and said he didn't want to know about me again, just because Maybe that's the reason why I hardly ever listen to that song...It makes me feel that he thinks the same way than that boy, and that's something I'll never understand... Second verse, I agree, it sounds more like a woman, or a person really affected by the breakup at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Interpretation has never been one of my favourite's off of the album...... The one bit I do like though is the: "And it don't have to make no sense to you at all, 'cause this is my interpretation" It's just the force he sings that bit with :wub2: OK I am rambling on into embarassment now, so I will stop! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzy Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 This is my favourite song off the album and I really love the 'if half of what you said is true and half of what I didn't do' bit because it's just written in a really nice way. Has anyone got a link to when he said that verse was written by Jodi Marr? I've never seen/heard it so I'm curious now, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickadee Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I've always thought it was one of those over-analysing things (which is why I can really imagine it being written by a woman), where when they were together it was going well, suprisingly well, actually, making the person wonder when the inevitable (this girl is obvioulsy a fatalist) breakup was going to happen and now that we've broken up, well, does all this over analysing really matter anyway? Cos... If half of what you said is true and half of what I didn't do could be different, would it make it better? Well, no, probably not, so I'll stop the over-analysing cos whatever I think is going to be My Interpretation anyway and not necessarily true for you. That's what its always meant to me. Does that help? (Or make sense, even?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SarahfromParis Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 i have an flv reader, do you think it's possible to convert it back as mpg and repost it somewhere ? i could try And chickadee, yes, it makes a lot of sense.. actually, i think it's exactly what it means !!! Whenever we face situations such as break ups, whatever we think about it is always gonna be our interpretation in the end of the day... and it's never gonna make sense for anybody else, especially not for the other person we broke up with... you put it very well !!
