This is my interpretation. Think of it what you may but here it it: "I am starting to sense your location You are somewhere in the attic Looking something close to tragic Knitting t-shirts into madras* I'm floating on the stairwell With my toes grazing the cedar Thinking softly what a tinder box we live in... And what a flammable heart I've been given You could be in several different places I am sensing your location" *Madras makes more sense in the context, matress wouldn't fit. I believe it's saying that the guy is noticing his love falling into depression, she's keeping to herself and he's going to try and get her because he loves her. He senses her locations because to him she's not only there in person but she's in trapped in her mind too. The tinder box means there's still hope for "light" or hope for happiness. "I am starting to sense your location You are somewhere in the basement Beating on a makeshift drum kit Songs that I can hardly stomach I'm floating on the stairwell With my fingers shaking frantic Thinking softly what a concrete mess we live in... And what a ice box heart I've been given You could be in several different places I am sensing your location" This is where the guy starts sensing that her depression is deeper than he can reach. She's sinking down and he's starting to become frantic because the depression is progressing faster than he can follow. He's realizing the hope is leaving and the depression is setting in like concrete. His efforts are becoming useless, his heart (efforts) are in vain (cold). "You could be in several different places I am starting to sense your locale now I am to starting to sense your location In in an old abandoned mansion In a country side of England Spirits trapped inside the linens And you're feeling quite at home there Also feeling somewhat lonely No one sees you in your pixelated fish nets And your black and orange beret" He notices her trying to escape the gray but she's isolated herself so much that it's becoming impossible. Her problems (ghosts) are trapped around her and even though she tries to gain attention she is still feeling invisible and the guy can't pull her from her depressed state of mind. "You could be in several different places I am sensing your location You could be in several different places I am starting to sense your locale now Oh please believe the ghost in me Is doing what I can to find you out" His love remains for her and he wants her back but he can't physically do anything to help her so he's searching his feelings for connections. |
