| I like this interpretation. But, I would go further in saying that the reason why their relationship was flawed was because this girl wanted to be (or just was) shallow. He wanted to still be with her (she wanted money and he sold off most of what he owned) but couldn't be as shallow as her. After they die their hair, she stares into a void and loses the depth he saw in her from what they experienced together, i.e. scaling mountains beneath the surface and ringing out blood drenched bed sheets like he's trying to help her with demons from her past. "The best that I could do, was to train my eyes on you." Which maybe means that he stared at her in hopes of her not changing, but she inevitably changed for the worse and became vapid and lost the life he saw in her, i.e. "december showed up anyway." | |
