most collections in art are in three's,as in a trinity, or trilogy like the mamasan trilogy (alive,once,footsteps).. i believe this song is the third part in the daughter/rearviewmirror sequence.. in the albumn sleeve of binaural , with the lyrics to parting ways is a bleeding violin.. tying in with the violins from daughter... daughter is about being abused, rearview mirror is about escaping the abuse..and parting ways is about the girl, grown up...she is unable to form, or at least keep,..an intimate relationship because of the abuse she endured as a child,(thus creating curtains to hide the flames, like creating a wall)...in "touring band 2000" eddie says the song is "about a lot of things"..i think the other thing this song ties into is his relationship with beth..i dont know the specifics there, but i'm pretty sure they divorced..or parted ways..around the time the song was written....this truly is an amazing song...
