The guilt part comes into full swing with the next too lines because he claims that he is so terrible and hard to get along with that she must have sacraficed so much to be with him. When he says 'It's not like you didn't know that' is the same as saying "You know how I feel though" and he does still love her, though she makes him feel the way he does. The next verses come from his feeling of guilt again, but he points out it is her too.
The five words in his head are based on his feeling of their relationship - a constant question of whether or not he is having fun, if this is what he wants. He feels this way because of her and blames her for it, but still feels it is his fault for 'handing her a heart worth breaking.' He admits he has been wrong and feels guilt, and he has 'been to the bottom of every bottle' meaning he has searched to find out why he is the way he is. For the 'Not like you.' part he is saying that she isn't the one who apologizes - and she always has excuses. The chorus is based on what he feels of his girlfriend she makes him feel guilty for the way he is - it is his low self opinion that makes him the way he is, she just brings it out. The next part about being a blind man and being sick of sight can be translated to mean that he never sees what is going on and what he does see doesn't catch him and he doesn't even notice. He blames himself for not being smart or skilled enough to do the most basic things, like being a thief than cannot steal. Okay, awhile back (before the server switch) I posted my translation of this song - I'll do it again: I'm not sure about that, but the specifics are open to interpretation. Like maybe she's cheating or something like that. Anything else that you guys want to say would probably fit right in. I think that this is the underlying dynamic of their relationship. That may or may not be true in objective terms, but it's the guy's reality, and he's the narrator. HE THINKS that she never apologizes, and he thinks that he wouldn't be able to cut it as a poor man stealin. Of course this is all from his point of view, so it's not necessarily 100% accurate either.
#YOU REMIND ME HOW TO#
They are/were in love with each other, but because of various logistical problems (she doesn't apologize when she's wrong about stuff, he's not enough of a man to "make it" regardless of what he attempts to do, whether it's a good thing or a bad thing, like a wise man or a thief.) stupid little logistical things, which cause them to fight so much that they're now at the point of breaking up, and it kills him because he still loves her but he just doesn't know how to make it work.
This song is about how love is not always enough. In a relationship neither partner is ever absolutely perfect. I think that in every relationship between any two people, the interactions between them are only as complex as you are willing to look.Īll this arguing about whether she wronged him or he wronged her is unnecessary, because it could easily go both ways. She knew he loved her but yet she still cheated and she must have done it because he was just the biggest dick in the world. He even said the phrase "Are you having fun yet?" That was before he ever heard the song.Ĭause livin' with me must have damn near killed you This happened to a good buddy of mine who was dating a girl and fighting over the same thing. He confronts her about her cheating and she just says sorry. When he thinks of her, he just remembers that he was a doormat that she walked all over. He can't let it go and know's the relationship is over. I'm sick of sight without a sense of feelin I have read through the other comments and have not found anyone who got it right. 'Cause livin' with me must have damn near killed youĪnd this is how you remind me of what I really am This is how you remind me of what I really am I'm sick of sight without a sense of feelin'
