I'm not reading eight pages of comments, but from what I've read is, you guys are neglecting to realize that they're BOTH singing the last stanzaa. It's not just the female singing it. This isn't about a guy who can't remember what happened to them and a girl that was heartbroken but was okay with giving herself to him in the past... They BOTH gave themselves to each other, and they BOTH have nothing left to say/save, and they're BOTH not sorry. This is a mutual acknowledgment from both people that they had this thing in the past, and it didn't work out. Don't forget the title of the song. "your ex-lover is dead" means that they're not the same person that they were when they had something. Her scar is a fleck, but it's also a scar, and a thing of the past. I also want to point out that when I originally listened to this song, I didn't imagine it as two people singing to each other, but two different voices singing the same perspective. One single person couldn't remember the ex-lovers name, and has a scar, and will write a postcard. It could be one perspective, not two. |

I don't think it's that she's heartbroken. I think she's over it, as the last stanzaa suggests. I think the line "repent all your sins" means something more along the lines of: now that you're outside me and we're not lovers, you see my beauty, and now you'll repent your sins because you can see what you've lost. Don't forget the line before said he "tried to reach deep, but couldn't get in" so it was like he tried to get her, but he couldn't, or wouldn't, and now he see's the beauty and what he's missing out on. So she believes he should have felt the need to repent. |
