    Lyrics felt like trying the next derivative party drug sold 'legally' in the UK; Narrator is trying to find the next one because they slowly become illegal as law enforcement classifies them
    "Somebody told me..." takes gossip about the next new drug through imagery of sexuality; boyfriend that looked like & girlfriend -- invoking relationships i.e. 'chemistry' as metaphor within the party scene to describe ecstasy derivatives. each new one is slightly altered chemically, not quite like that one but reminds him of the one from "February of last year" (suggesting valentines day)
    "rumor ruin my moonlight" a continued metaphor of party night life; the overall context of being high, partying and gossip/relationships.
    "ready lets roll onto something new" (drugs or hooking up)
    "heaven ain't close to a place like this" (high as a kite, or lack of, also suggests the scene is not innocent)
    "pace yourself...all I want to do is try" (going for it, taking more, getting high longer & dancing more)
    "Rushin' around" ('Rushing' is common UK slang for the Ecstasy high)

      It's about writing a song. He's trying to name the track, and it's very difficult but someone when they heard it told him that the track he's writing sounds like the song someone else wrote which sounds like an earlier song he wrote in the February the year earlier. And him rushing around is him trying to figure out if someone actually ripped him and and scrambling to write a new song.

      Good to hear, now I know the song is intended self-reference, not metaphor or creative imagery

      torbach dude. Thats gotta be some bomb lsd you were on when you wrote that. Im pretty sure the song is a about him wanting a girl who has a boyfriend, who is either literally or metaphorically a bitch, and the singer feels he is a much better choice.

    This is appropriately epic music to go with the strategy game that I'm playing on my Nintendo DS right now.

    Oooooh, it's "rumor ruin". I was always wondering what the hell a "roomaroo" is.
    This song is a huge metaphor, it's actually about writing songs.
