Cause that's just who I am this week
Lie in the...

I think that a part of the interpretation that is missing has to do with the phrase, "I'll be your number one with a bullet" which is probably a proper use of the phrase. It basically means the best or the first, and with a vengance or passion, and it comes from the way songs are listed in Billboards. Being number one is at the top of the charts, while a bullet signifies that the album or single sold better this week than the previous week, indicating it is continously gaining popularity.
This could be part of his dichotomy of wanting to be with her and being her "best" while hating her for using him. Also, "lie in the grass, next to the mausoleum" could be about how he feels like dying for being betrayed so badly (in his mind). And lastly, what I feel hasn't been addressed in full light, is the line "a loaded God complex, cock it and pull it." A God complex is generally referring to an individual's (generally erroneous) belief that they are God or have superhuman abilities or powers (most commonly used when someone believes that have an inherint ability to get away with things or do things that most people can't).
Here, he is probably referring to her attitude of being able to use guys sexually without having to face any consequences, and it's metaphorically used convey that the hurt he feels because of her attitude is like putting a loaded gun up to his head, cocking it, and pulling the trigger. In short, either the fact that she blows him off, or quite possibly the whole relationship (if you can even call it that), is emotionally killing him.

I think that he likes a girl but he's different or ugly so the girl doesn't want to be with him so he considers commiting suicide every day and then he gets the girl and everyone is against her.

This song is about jelousy not suicide or fantasies about their mothers. "oh, don't mind me I'm just watchin you two from the closest wishing to be the friction in your jeans" and "isnt it messed up how I'm just dying to be him" a loaded god complex is not a gun, it does not mean he thinks he is god but rather he is so arragont he thinks may as well be doing what god would do. So the line "a laoded god complex cock it and pull it" means that he realises that he is this way and he is ready to confront the girl he wants (who is with someone else). "cock it and pull it" is a metaphor for a gun that is ready to shoot as he is ready to confront her.

I really think this might be about a guy who's gay but doesn't want to be. The lines that make me think that are:
The line about watching them from the closet. Don't tell me you guys don't know what the closet means. I really think it might be that he sees the guy he loves with another guy and feels jealous about it, and starts to think he might be gay.
The line about "friction in your jeans". I don't know any girls that get friction in their jeans.
The line about sleeping for the wrong team. Have you ever heard the expression "batting for the other team"? And the wrong part just enforces my opinion that he's gay but doesn't want to be.
The line about how it's messed up that he wants to be in the other guy's position. He really doesn't want to be gay.
I'm probably wrong, but that's just the impression I get.

"Am I more than you bargained for yet?? I've been dying to tell you anything you wanna hear - cause that's just who I am this week."
Meaning - you don't know me, I tell you what to think of me.
"lie in the grass next to the mausoleum. I'm just a notch
in your bedpost but your just a line in a song"
meaning - see I've already got you confused. You think I'm talking about death, sex and denial... Let's see how
far I can go.
"drop a heart break a name. We're always sleep in and sleeping for the the wrong team."
Meaning - here is the formula.... Break a heart drop a name. It works, look I'll flip it, cryptic huh? Think what you will of us (me).. Sleeping for the wrong team lol whatever.
"we're going down down in an earlier round. And sugar
we're going down swinging. I'll be your number one with
a bullet.. Loaded god complex cock it and pull it"
meaning - doesn't this boxing reference sound cool. They are going down... Not us lol.. I'm the number one with a bullet.. I'll always be above this sh*t. Loaded god complex. It sells, so use it.. But I'll never be that.
"is this more than you bargained for yet, oh don't mind me I'm just watching you two from the closet. Wishing to be the friction in your jeans. Isn't it messed up how I'm just dying to be him."
meaning - this reference to freud is placed perfectly.
Wishing to be the friction.. Lol great sh*t. But I dun
wanna be him or his "friction".

If someone has a god complex than they are very arrogant and not literally, but think they are a god of somesort.
I don't think "a loaded god complex cock it and pull it" actually means anything, although it could be talking about someones/ or the girls arrogance which is just waiting to explode. Also you said that he's jealous of the girl, the song also contradicts itself by saying "I'm just a notch in your bedpost but your just a line in a song"

I don't have the time to look through 120+ interpretations of this song to see if this has already been said, but here's my opinion… The boy in the song is totally obsessed with the girl and so he is now stalking her to get her attention. This is hinted at in the line "I'm just a notch in your bedpost". It plays with the idea that no matter where she is, he's somewhere near, and nearer than she thinks he is. Then there's the obvious "I'm watching you two from the closet" (also telling the listener that the girl is already with someone), and the "friction in your [her] jeans" can be interpreted two ways. There's the fact that he wants sexual contact with her, and there's also another case of him relating himself to an everyday/commonplace thing in someone's life. Obviously, friction in jeans and notches in bedposts can't watch people around them, but he can, and he's saying that he is or wants to be one of those things, it pretty much means that he is with this poor unwary girl wherever she goes.

i interpret "don't mind me I'm watching you two from the closet, wishing to be the friction in your jeans" as him always noticing her with her b/f everywhere and how he wishes he could be the guy... people are so perverted... not everything is sexual you little 13 year old horny boys!

I think that this song is about the guy being gay. He says many different things that show this. One thing that he says is that he is watching you to from the closet and he means that he did not come out of the closet yet. He also says that it is messed up how he is just dying to be him but he should want to be with her not him. He also says drop a heart, break a name and if he wasnt gay he would say the normal saying of drop a name, break a heart. He says that he wants to kill himself for being gay like the loaded god complex cock and pull it because he does not want to be gay. It says he's going down down swinging because he's gay and its gonna be a crazy time. The guy also says we're always sleeping in but we're sleeping for the wrong team, meaning that the guys should be sleeping with each other and not the girls. He says he has been dying to tell him (the other gay guy) everything he wants to hear ( that he likes him because there both gay) and that's just who I am this week, so he could be Bi because he likes the guy this week. That is what I really believe the hidden meassage is behind this song if you really think about it, so just think about it please!

This song is bout two people who have a sexual relations
The guy doesn't know the girl is with someone else
when he finds out he is jealous that he could be number 2 , thus the line " ill be your number one with a bullet"
Then, " A loaded God Complex"
God Complex is like narcicism, he thinks he above everyone, almost god like.
"Cock it and Pull it"
As w/ the bullet earlier, he's gonna kill the other guy

Has anyone here ever heard the lyrics to AC/DC's "Back in Black?" He makes a reference to being "number one with a bullet." So it meant something back in '85 when that was written, it must mean the same thing now. I don't know what though, any help on that?

I think it's about raping monkeys. This is how aids started, and pete is saying how people should use protection. "cock it and pull it" as a reference to ejaculation

Ok, everyone is going on about what Pete said in an interview and blahdy blahdy blah, but isn't the point of interpreting something so that you can use your own mind and independently extract what you may from it? The beauty of lyrics is that there is a lot of diversity in the way they may be interpreted so people should celebrate the independent thinking and creativity involved in this process and not criticise or try to belittle people for being "wrong".

jeez. a GOD COMPLEX is where you choose who lives who dies. not being in love with your mother. That would be an oedipus complex. He's killing himself and taking her down with him.

I think that they mean conflict when they are saying complex. Something complicated, so maybe he's is blaming god for whatever he's upset about, and saying I'm just going to end it. I seen a lot of blink 182 lyrics race through my head when I read "drop a heart, break a name". Everytime I look for you "Hearts are wasted, lives are broken." they jumble it up to make you think about it
