This lyric in particular has always spoke close to home thus causing me to notice that I live my life trying to be as rational and as put together as possible, especially as I grow older. I feel as though investing in mature and positive methods of handling things make for personal growth and behavior that is confident and successful.

It allows us to be molded into uplifted human begins that can have a positive affect on those around us. Under the surface, life can be messy, but maintaining poise and rationality will really help in the long run. Like most things in life, progress takes time. It took me time to learn how to deal with things in a balanced manner in order to maintain composure while trying to satisfy the desire to express myself.

You tell yourself you could not care less about what someone else thinks, but if someone suggested something bad about something you valued, you would definitely subconsciously consider it. Is there any validity in their suggestion? Hearing someone suggest you're soon-to-be-wife is a whore is pretty daunting if you ask me.

He tries to make himself feel better, tells himself to be calm and not to overreact, that everything will work out: " His frustration ultimately leads to the cancellation of the wedding, and again he tries to make himself feel better: "I'll look at it this way So he's trying to look on the bright side of things, "this calls for a toast so pour the champagne.

Even if he did prevent a miserable marriage? It just wreaks of sarcasm and dismay. I think this song says a lot about the powerful influence of others society , especially when it regards something one takes to heart.

Noemotion on November 07, Link. There was an error. Noemotion this actually makes a lot of sense homogayhorse on November 30, General Comment I think its about the groom overhearing the bridesmaid gossip to the waiter that the bride is a whore.

The next part of the song is mocking the people that are gossiping with their "poison rationality", because they can't accept that people can change.

He shows the irony of their point of view: "Oh! Well in fact, well I'll look at it this way, I mean technically our marriage is saved Well this calls for a toast, so pour the champagne, pour the champagne" - Using their "poison rationality" he should judge his bride by only her past actions and assume that she will be unfaithful to him. Thus he would "save" the marriage by calling it off and not even giving her a chance.

This is analogous to "saving" someone's life by shooting them in the brain and heart with a magnum. Society's pov can be like poison. General Comment My take on this- Brendon and the groom are the same guy. Brendon is his conscience or even in a way his sub-conscience, that little voice in your head telling himself, well in the video showing himself what is clear to see the whole time.

The groom seems caught off guard, in denial, but Brendon seems almost one step ahead of the bride, and has known for awhile her game, it just took him overhearing a comment between the bridesmaid and the waiter while he was nervously pacing at the church, probably with what he knows deep down, that the marriage is a mistake because of what he suspects, to finally snap out of it and face what is really in front of him.

Bride walks away in video meaning she destroyed this in his mind and he is left confused and shocked by the whole thing but Brendon drags him out to see what he has known, his fiancee with another man. In the end you see Brendon and the groom bow and the groom is suddenly in the top hat, clearly indicating that they are one person.

Kellen96 on August 31, Link. I think this is dead on. Nicely done. Kellen96 Hollyoverhere on April 18, Kellen96 Right on. Good points, esp that last one re top hat zoom out then back into Brendan.
