![]() obviously, the lyric "time takes it's crazy toll" supports that, as well as stuff like "'cause she's gonna take you for a fall".īut aside from the lyrics, let me explain this from a different perspetive While it may be about a girl and a breakup or something like that, i feel that this song itself is about growing old. How will he "make her smile" when neither of them are "feeling it"? ![]() She understands why things are no longer the same between them. They both led each other on until things got to this point (drifting in a "diamond sea" of unattainable ideals). That men are not alone on the diamond sea " How will the guy react if he notices she's no longer into him? There bond has lost its strength or "crystallized to sand" and she is now more alone than before. She can look into his eyes and realize the complexity and depth of the hype she's bought into. Now that she is comitted and has fallen in love with the "diamond ring" (representing plans and relationship ideals") she understands how close she came to reaching a feeling of one-ness with herself (before the relationship). She glosses over problems and incompatabilities between the two of them. Her man asures her that everything will be perfect and hold up to her ideals. How does her self image change over time?Įventually the girl is drawn into a relationship. This song is about two people in a relationship and is told from the female's perspective. the connection was built on illusions and projected self-image and now that self-image is all you have left Reason: This describes feeling lost, being alone yet within a relationship. the connection was built on illusions and projected self-image and now that self-image is all you have left The relationship was imbued and created in some sort of illusion- so how is she going to react when the illusion fades and she realizes her real self-image and the true reality of the connection?

"you better watch yourself when you jump into it, The song describes a relationship that people use to "make their mirror grow" - ie improve their self-image and external image as well- it may be linked to fame and Kim and Thurston's own relationship. ![]() I think this is about a relationship that began out built out of illusions and created to bolster self-image rather than out of true love. When love is running wild on the diamond sea Why everything is quiet and nothing's free ![]() You better look out for the looking glass girl That men are not alone on the diamond seaĪnd tell her that you'll love her eternally You reflected into his looking glass soul When he sees that you just know it's make-belief Why all the little kids are dressed in dreams Your mirror's gonna crack when he breaks into it Until you fall in love with the diamond rain You'll never, never know how close you came That someone just like you has come again You better watch yourself when you jump into it ![]()
