He wants the one he can't have, the only one who really understands him, but instead of just accepting it, he wants her to feel that hurt, too. "All I want is your pity, and all I want is your bitter tears." Rarely has a singer been so vulnerable, so dejected, and such a dick all at the same time. But then the song keeps going skyward, swelling off that guitar and those sparkling synths, and the pain starts to disappear. You lose yourself in the surge. Really sad or really triumphant? It's both. --Joe Colly.
