I haven't actually looked to see what the song's actual meaning is, so I could be way off here. This is just my own interpretation. It's obviously a wistful song about losing someone, but some of the lines, in my opinion, imply that someone very dear to them has died, and they want to join them "In between these sheets where I laid you down, I try to find some rest" but they just don't have the courage to follow through with it "I reach out for the switch but why pretend? I can't turn the lights out now." and further it seems to be about his guilt in not going with them. "Cause it's hard to keep those promises I made when I was strong, and now I'm haunted by the ghost of you", almost seeming to say he had promised he'd go after her, but he couldn't go through with it. I'm not usually known for macabre interpretations, honest! I just couldn't help but see these undertones in the song. |
