The Academy Is...: About a Girl Meaning

About a Girl Lyrics

One song about a girl
Can't breathe when I'm around her
I wait here everyday
In case she'll scratch the surface
she'll never notice

I'm not in love
This is not my heart
I'm not gonna waste these words about a girl

Last night I knew...

   Lead singer William Beckett said that this was a song about not wanting to admit you've fallen in love, and inwardly denying it.

   I think this song is about a guy who loved a girl, she never noticed him. He would try to get her attention and she got with another guy and broke his heart. All he wanted was to be loved.

   This song about a girl is about a boy who is in love with a girl who dosent notice him so he denys his love for her and he says he's not going to waste his words which is the iorny of the song because he is singing about how much he wants to be loved by her.

   I think this song is about a conflicted feeling that we all have at some point. On one hand, we percieve ourselves as rational people and we don't want a certain person that we had feelings for at a certain time but maybe didn't love us back to control our thoughts and actions. On the other hand, lust and attraction is a natural part of life and a feeling we can't control so we should accept it.

   Don't base your interpretations on the videos. That doesn't always mean the real substance of songs...
   
   I like the second description of the song and it makesa heck of a lot of sense.

   It's about how everyone in the band are friends in high school and he daydreams about being with a girl but she's going out with a football player but it turns out she's stuck in that relationship and really likes him (william beckett)

   This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway
