So he “decided” to not love anyone again because he fears the pain again.Īnd when he’s singing about his hopes, that he got “up again, oh no, not again” he is referring to his hope he will eventually fall in love again. This suggests the singer experienced some kind of trauma quite some time ago and he still barley is able to have any feelings whatsoever. In verse 2 the singer assures us, he isn’t the “seed of all this indecision”, because he “decided long ago”. He hopes, she doesn’t have to much feelings for him, because he doesn’t love her. “But I hear it inside my head all day” means he hears her calling for him all day, which obviously annoys him, because that’s the moment when he realizes that he is “just holding up to the hope(!) that … her(!) feelings dont show”. “Going ahead” in this context means breaking up with his girlfriend as suggested by verse 1: But he (for some reason) can’t and that’s why he feels like only going backwards. The hook pretty much suggests, that he wants to “go ahead”.

But that's the way it seems to go when trying So hard to get to something real, It feels. The seed of all this indecision isn't me, oh no, 'Cause I decided long ago. The seed of all this indecision isn't me, oh no Feels like we only go backwards, darling. When I realize I'm just holding on to the hope that maybe Things are pretty straightforward up until verse 2.
