I'm really not sure what this song is about, and it really bugs me because I really like this song!!!I think the first part could be about doing something stupid, probably smoking or something, ('and now they know there's no way out and they're really sorry now for what they've done they were three wise men just trying to have some fun') so yeah..tell me what you think

Well, they were abviously smoking (smoke nine til seven all the shit that they could find)...there is a video for this song but it doesn't help things much...

This song is very confusing, but I think its about three guys who seem to be perfect (hence the name 'Wisemen') but do something really stupid, like drugs, and mess up their lives. They're addicted (couldn't escape from you, theres no way out) or something and it's causing them to lose everything in their lives.
Te he he. Confusing, yet amazing

To me is feels very surreal, like the 3 wise men are demons (and it makes me think of Silent Hill for some reason.)

Guess its something about the addiction people have.. racked my brain to understand it, but really a good number.

Hey guys
I too have puzzled over this interpretation!! The first line 'go steady on me' may indicate some sort of rape going on but then as you read on he talks of 3 wise men who came down from heaven. I have read other interpretations- many are convinced that these '3 wise men' may have been bullies from the past. James is now probably laughing in their face telling them that he was now great 'look whos alone now its not me' and they were nothing, merely wasting their lives away on drugs and living on a 'semi by the sea'. I am quite sure it is something about James' past that pulled him into writing this song- not for publicity but just so that he could feel good that he had accomplished something they hadn't. I dunno, but that's just my interpretation!!

I thought it was about 3 men who bullied James in the past.

I recently heard that this was to do with what happened with two soldiers from a British regiment in Cyprus. The soldiers get pissed up and raped/killed a young woman who knocked them back. They got caught before getting back to the British compound and are serving life in a cypriot prison.
This is well know in the army but someone told me recently that the song and the incident were connected.

Well most people seem to think it's about three guys that had good lives and messed them up with drugs....well I agree with that partly but some parts just don't fit in like "they got caught up in your talent show........" although my theory doesn't fit in with the video I think it's about a guy who was bullied when he was in school and all the people that picked on him got their lives messed up in 1 way or another and now he's the one that's happy in his life "look who is alone now its not me its not me..."...thats just what I think anyway.

Its obviously something to with the birth of Christ after that it gets a bit hazy.

there were three perfect people (three wise men ) and i guess they messed their lives buy getting addicted.I guess in the video he might be one of the three wise men who got addicted.So he regrets what he has done with his life and burns his identity as in killing himself.That's the picture that came to my mind when i heard and saw the song.

Are 3 demons placed into a man, with the permission of GOD.
These demons - just sure to kill the man - did not have a FUN JOB as they thought - they are stuck inside this man until his life shall be taken back from GOD.
This man is tested from GOD - please remember St. Paul.

this song is about james when he was a kid in boarding school. He was a bit of a geek and hung out with three of the rebel "cool" kids. He told them he liked a girl and trying to pick on him, they told her. She ended up liking him also and they dated. Since then the three kids have done nothing with their lives,(three wise men they've got a semi by the sea. a ramshackle house.) so james is rubbing it in. Hence, " look who's alone now it's not me..."
