This song seems to have a meaning similar to "Too Many Friends"* by Placebo in the first lyrics. People are so close to each other, they share the same room, they breath the same air, however they're complete strangers and no one talks to each other. The singer wants to get out of there, he wants human contact, to talk to someone, he can't stand being among people who don't bother saying a word when they are so close to someone. He wants a place where all the attention will be on humans and their feelings instead of objects like a mobile phone. When he's finally out, no one joins him, although they have nothing important to do back there. They prefer avoiding communcation with each other and staying there no matter who is waiting outside to interact with them. In the end he doesn't care who is going to come with him, he just continues he's way because he's finally out.
* My computer thinks I'm gay
What's the difference anyway?
When all the people do all day
It staring into a phone
Lyrics
His space crowds out your space, your space
Your space crowds out hers
Coffee breath and headphone hiss
But no one says a word
Eyes upon the paper headline
Refuge in your phone
Bumping shoulders
Cough and sniff
But no one says hello
Woahhh
Excuse me while I run, I really gotta get out of here
Woahhh
Excuse me while I run, I really gotta get out of here
My heart beats like yours does, hers does,
Her heart keeps good time
And everyday I mind the gap between you and me
Here comes someone else to share the air we breathe
Woahhh
Excuse me while I run, I really gotta get out of here
Woahhh
Reach out for anyone, and they will tell you get out of here
Woahhh
I'm asking everyone, you've gotta help me get out of here
Woahhh
Excuse me while I run, I really gotta get out of here
Meanwhile
Under the gun
Hey everyone
Our work here is done
We out
You gonna come?
Hey everyone
Our work here is done
Woahhh
Excuse me while I run, I really gotta get out of here
Woahhh
Reach out for anyone and they will tell you get out of here
Woahhh
I'm asking everyone, you've gotta help me get out of here
Woahhh
Excuse me while I run, I really gotta get out of here
This is a big problem today. Some of us don't realise it, or don't want to talk to someone. Others (including me) long for something more than a computer and a good series. No matter how shocking the last Sherlock episode was, if you have the chance to meet one of your friends and spend time together, do it. You won't always be able to do it. Lots of love,
