You’d have to loose a lot more than weight to fit in those jeans- Sometimes i feel helpless but this gives me hope and sometimes i feel so optimistic but her exclamations leave me drooling exasperations And she leaves me so confused and she leaves me so confounded but she leaves me with the thoughts that will lead me to withstand it Should those ribs show through again I’d take a breath and I’d reach in I’d clutch her heart I’d never let her go I’d clutch her heart The world would never know Id pull apart these trivial dreams of skin and bones and magazines this devil inside her id give myself to kill him this devil inside her id give myself to rid her of him Oh how i resent you Eddy Oh how i envy you You hold her like i never could You reason as i never would You courted her with past successes Of drunken broads and empty messes So tell me please So tell me dearest Where’s the holy water? The vials splintered in her soul Just find me the pieces And i’ll make it whole
coming from a boyfriend to a girlfriend with an eating disorder
Anyways, I think the very first sentence, "You’d have to loose a lot more than weight to fit in those jeans" means that the girlfriend has to let go of her high expectations of herself. Often people with eating disorders suffer with low self esteem and want some control over their lives, which they feel are falling apart. This boyfriend is saying that she has to lose those fears and the need to make herself perfect. Eddy sounds like a past lover, a friend? Maybe the boyfriend envies Eddy because Eddy always knew what to say and what to do to make her feel better. Her boyfriend wants to desperately help her through her problems but doesn't know how to. "Where's the holy water? The vials splintered in her soul. Just find me the pieces And I’ll make it whole," this part is about him wanting to find a cure for her, something that he can do to make her realize that she can be happy. He loves her a lot and wants her to lover herself too.
