I'm going to give my own interpretation of this song. Before I begin, a reminder: this is the way I think, my theory/belief/thoughts…you don't have to think the same. But feel free to tell me yours.
I think this song goes a bit deeper than everyone thinks…
First verse:
Something has to change.
Un-deniable dilemma.
Boredom's not a burden
Anyone should bear.
I think this verse is some-what self explanatory. I think it means he's bored with life, and he doesn't want to bare it any longer.
Next verse:
Constant over stimulation numbs me
and I wouldn't have
It any other way.
When your body is over stimulated, when it has to do with anything, it's a good feeling of body and mind, so you most likely wouldn't want it (wouldn't have it) any other way.
Next verse:
It's not enough.
I need more.
Nothing seems to satisfy.
I don't want it.
I just need it.
To breathe, to feel, to know I'm alive.
A lot of times when you get something really want, after you have it, you don't really want it as much anymore…people are always searching for more satisfaction out of life, no matter what it has to deal with.
Next verse:
Finger deep within the borderline.
Show me that you love me and that we belong together.
Relax, turn around and take my hand.
I think this part of the song is a little deeper than the obvious…I don't think it means to literally put your finger somewhere…or in something. I think this just means that you're pushing the borders or something. When it has to do with someone else, a lot of the time when you want to try something new, or something, people will say "if you love me you'll do it." Maybe this is portraying that in a way…show me that you love me and that we belong together…I think this could be we're pushing things too far, maybe too fast…but if you love me you'll be ok with it…so just relax. You know?
Next verse:
I can help you change
Tired moments into pleasure.
Say the word and we'll be
Well upon our way.
Blend and balance
Pain and comfort
Deep within you
Till you will not have me any other way.
I think these lines ARE some-what self explanatory. I think by saying "l can help you change tired moments into pleasure." He's saying that he wants to help change…not only he will, he wants to. Kind of like when you want to be there for your best friend, in a way. As I said before, even when you have something great you want it to be better, always…so you blend, and try to balance out your pain and comfort, until you feel like you've molded that person into who you see fit to be perfect…and not just a person, but anything in life.
Next verse not discussed:
Knuckle deep inside the borderline.
This may hurt a little but it's something you'll get used to.
Relax. Slip away.
I love this line. Again, I see this as maybe trying to push things beyond the limit…and it first, it could hurt that person, or whatever it is, even if it's you…at first it's going to hurt a little, or require some getting-used-to…but you'll always get used to it…so relax, until you slip away.
Next Verse:
Something kinda sad about
the way that things have come to be.
Desensitized to everything.
What became of subtlety?
Sometimes things DON'T work out exactly the way you want them…that "perfect" thing or person, isn't exactly the perfect you thought it would be, or wanted it to be…so things become different…you, and, or that person/thing becomes desensitized to everything. Just like the lyrics say…"What became of subtlety?" is asking what becomes of the subtle attitude you once had…because it disappears.
Next Verse:
How can it mean anything to me
If I really don't feel anything at all?
I'll keep digging till
I feel something.
This is my favorite part of the song. The part above means that people try to convince themselves they're ok, when something bad happens…they try to act like they don't feel a thing at all…I like this part so much, because I know I do it all the time. Everyone does it all the time. If we're hurt by something, we just try to block it out and not care anymore…so I love this part…but we keep digging for new things/old things to heal our wounds again. We search in ourselves for that one thing that will take us away…for good.
Elbow deep inside the borderline.
Show me that you love me and that we belong together.
Shoulder deep within the borderline.
Relax. Turn around and take my hand.
Then in the end…you want to go back to that thing that made you happy in the first place…it's so damn true. I'm doing the same thing right now with my ex-girlfriend…oh Maynard, thank you.
Enjoy…
