In a way when you're an addict it's like being dead because you're slowly killing yourself. Anyway I think they may have tied the dead-girl theme with the drug theme. I always thought this song was about being a junkie, though I vaugely remember hearing that they wrote it about a missing girl from their hometown, who later on was found dead. all together this song is very powerful and full of emotion, I love the metaphors used in this song. When the men she is around flirt with her and try getting with her, he'll find out later if she's been faithful and wait until tomorrow if she'll still be with him. Then going on to ask again, if she still cares.he seems very hurt as if he'll never see her again. He's questioning if she's crying and upset about their relationship. The 2nd verse starts off with, "so much depends on the weather", which weather can symbolize emotion like dark skies and black clouds are depression.īut he describes in the second line, "so is it raining in your bedroom", going back to the weather part, which rain could symbolize tears and crying. The mask I found is described as a character she portrays or an emotion that she is showing.Īnd the dogs symbolize the men that are around her, hitting on her flirting with her, that sort of deal, and then saying, will she trust him and be alone when she's not around him. The chorus describes still if she cares for him at all like he does for her. The first line seems sarcastic, or if not caring.Īnd then he begins to describe his relationship with his girl, beginning to figure her out, and he thinks that she doesn't feel as strongly to him. Ive heard this song the last 15 yrs and its one of my favorites, but I had it on heavy rotation in feb of this year and think I MIGHT have figured it out. Wow.well, lets see if I can actually be the one to make some sense.
