i assume that everyone thinks the same thing about this song the first time they hear it that i heard the first time i heard it.
the first time i heard anyone else but you i chose the obvious interpretation. i saw it as a hit love song about hating everyone you know except for the person you truly love.
...then i listened to it more...
after several listens i realized that this song IS NOT about hating EVERYONE BUT your love. this song IS about hating EVERONE INCLUDING your love.
when i started listening to each and every lyric and trying to interpret every sentiment i realized that. the horrible and sarcastic resenments outweigh the cheesy and sappy but love remarks. i think its natural to see the good in this song and how it completely defeats every that could be consider bad in the world. but when you really listen to this song, you realize that its not about that sappy and idolized love that we all only we wish we could achieve. it's about real things.
either way, the lyrics are relatable. no one can honestly say that they havent been completely mad and bitter towards all the world but one wonderful person who seemed to shine in glowing and perfect light. but this song doesnt just do that. it delves into a world most love songs dont touch. it delves into the depths of the realistic.
beyond uber fantasies, even the ones that come true, lies the uber reality. everyone knows not even their true love, but their real love. the one that you have the chemistry with and the feelings for, despite their flaws. everyone knows that person that's not their ideal prince/princess charm, but is the person that they love and care about to the end, despite what they may deny. this song is about the person that you hate for their tendencies, but love for themselves.
this a song for the one you will end up eventually and for good reason, whether you know it or like it or want it or not.
sorry for the long and confusing comment. im pretty drunk/drugged out. hopefully you can obtain something from this.
------------
Since this song got stuck in my head, I've been trying to figure out what it means. Now, there are 3 interpretations.
1) sweet geeky love song
2) about real love - see above
3) you hate the person. Seriously. There are just so many bad things, every single para has got sth that could be interpreted as bad. :( This one i liked least but I'm trying to be more realistic. I think they'd end up bad - he'd end up leaving her because he couldn't take the thought of living with her flaws forever and to him, the sex and the fun wouldn't be enough? ("I'm in love with how you feel" & "We sure are cute for two ugly people")
Sigh.
The only reason I elaborated so much on number 3 was i didn't really see anyone else interpreting it that way.
:( I don't like reality very much. But, I need to? Aww poo...
Eve.
