something i can never have

i still recall the taste of my tears.echoing your voice just like the ringing in my ears.my favorite dreams of you still wash ashore.scraping through my head 'till i don't want to sleep anymore
come on tell me.make this all go away.you make this all go away. i'm down to just to thing.and i'm starting to scare myself.make this all go away.you make this all go way.i just want something.i just want something i can never have
you always were the one to show me how back then i couldn't do the things that i can do now.this is slowly take me apart. grey would be the color if i had a heart
i just want something i can never have
in this place it seems like such a same.though it all looks different now, i know it's still the same
everywhere i look you're all i see. just a fading fucking reminder of who i used to be.
come on tell me.make this all go away.you make this all go away. i'm down to just to thing.and i'm starting to scare myself.make this all go away.you make this all go way.i just want something.i just want something i can never have.i just want something i can never have
think i know what you meant.that night on my bed.still picking at this scab.i wish you were dead
your sweat and perry ellis. just stains on my sheets

Reflects the thoughts of a former relationship ("i still recall the taste of my tears. echoing your voice just like the ringing in my ears") about which he is still torn apart. He cannot accept the fact that this has happened to him ("you make this all go away...this thing is slowly taking me apart"). Even though this relationship has ended he has not changed ("though it all looks different now i know its still the same"). I think he wanted more than just a sex relationship but could not find it ("i just want something I can never have...")

I believe this song is about a relationship that ended before it could come to fruition. A relationship based solely on physical attraction without a deeper mental and emotional connection cannot last long without destroying itself. This song laments the loss of a lover and the wish for that deeper connection. The victim of such a relationship cannot move on and constantly tries determine what exactly went wrong and what could have been done to fix it. Only with the acceptance that it's over can one move on.

needing someone, being obsessed with them, and feeling you can't live without them, but knowing that there's something wrong with the relationship. the woman is a soothing balm for this man who has lost his faith and begun to see the world as something he can't handle. when he is with her, he calms down, gets a little further away from his hatred. i think maybe he fell for her and she for him before he lost his faith, and now that he's so angry and depressed, the relationship is too strained and she wants to leave. he can't deal with losing the last memory of his old self, the last thing in his life that takes his mind off his hate. he knows she can't stay, but wants her back, her and the old life his pessimism forced out of him.

about a year ago i fell in love with a girl. we dated, we became friends and all i wanted was to have a close, also sexual relationship with this girl. she was satisfied with me being a close friend of several reasons. during this time i heard "something i can never have" about five times a day and i think that this song exactly describes this situation. he was in love with a girl, they had a very good time they had a very close relationship but he wanted more, always knowing that he won't reach his goals. right now i'm absolutely down and i have problems with myself, my feelings and my situation - the only persons which made "this all go away" was this girl but it all was just "something i can never have". he can't forget his dreams and so do i.

Well, this is how I see it. When Trent says "something i can never have" he may be referring to his innocence that he once had and doesn't have anymore. I don't know, that's what I got out of it.
