In this emotionally charged track, Saosin delves into themes of struggle, regret, and eventual acceptance. The lyrics narrate a journey of grappling with inner demons and the fallout from a significant relationship. The "seven years" symbolize a period of prolonged hardship and introspection. The mention of the "holy ghost" suggests a loss of spiritual guidance or faith, intensifying the sense of abandonment and confusion. Lines like "Test my arms, kick like crazy" convey a desperate fight for control and self-redemption. Despite efforts to reconcile or understand the past ("I'm sorry, I'm not sure"), there's an acknowledgment that moving forward without the other person is necessary for growth. The recurring phrase "Tell him his eyes see too clear" hints at confronting harsh truths. Ultimately, the song captures a poignant struggle to find one's identity amidst emotional turmoil and unresolved conflicts.
