The first poetic device I noticed was, "Cold comfort for change", and it is an example of Juxtaposition. Another poetic device I found was "And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?" is figurative language. One other one is "We're just two lost souls swimming in a fishbowl", which is a metaphor.
I think the guy singing this and the girl he likes are both kind of depressed and confused. They aren't sure if they want to get back together after they broke up. I think it tells this when it says "We're just two lost souls swimming in a fishbowl". Though the guy can see that his old girlfriend is confused, nothings changing, and so he does nothing. His life goes on with him being miserable. Its says this when it says "Running over the same old ground ". I think he also feel like he's been betrayed by his old girl friend. It tells this when he says, "And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts."
