I think that although it's called the Blower's Daughter Part 2, it is not the Blower's Daughter who broke his heart. In part 1, he says he can't take his mind off her until he finds someone else. As it turns out, he did find someone else to fall in love with, but he only really fell in love with her because who was hurt by the Blower's Daughter and lonely. The girl he fell in love with saw this, and although she didn't love him back, she decided to use him anyway, knowing he would have sex with her. He soon realised that she didn't love him back, and was just using him, and realises this relationship he has taken up after the pain of feeling rejected by the Blower's Daughter was wrong. |

I think the whole song he's talking about how much he loves her, but he things he will never have her, because he has had such an easy life, and hers has had so many struggles. He thinks he's not good enough for her, but can't stop thinking about her, (her being the Blower's Daughter). The Blower's Daughter loves him back, but is too scared to be in a relationship with him, and is somewhat traumatised by these struggles in her life. She also has had 'No hero in her sky' which might mean she has never had a true lover. This means she wouldn't believe the main singer loves her. She thinks he is just pretending in some way, and her defense mechanism to this is to say that she hates him, and doesn't want to talk to him. She realises later that she said this, which is why she says 'Oh, did I say that I loathe you? Did I say that I want to leave it all behind?' She can't believe she said this when she loved him. The main singer can't stop thinking about her until he finds someone else who loves him back. Anyways, thats the way I interpret it. Sort of a tragic love story, where the lovers are both too shy to believe the other's feelings. This could be totally wrong... but that's the way I see it. |
