To me it seems like someone in grieving. Their loved one is "living in their mind" through memories, but obviously it can't match actually being there. Not too sure about the next verse, maybe just a memory about an argument they had while the loved one was still living. The next verse seems to be about their coping mechanism. They spent the year locked up, reading books to distract them from the painful memories which remind them that the loved one is dead. The bit about echoes and super-symmetry suggests a slightly more spiritual element, that they can still in a way feel connected even though seperated by death. |

I originally thought of it as being about a long distance relationship. He wishes that he could "come out of her phone", i.e. he misses actually seeing her as opposed to talking over the phone. This is supported by "down the cable lines, run under the earth". He also want to be in "two places at once", so he want to be where his girlfriend is. "Cut a hole", for me, is how he wishes he could make some kind of portal to be able to travel to her. It reminded me of the book The Subtle Knife, where using a knife you could "cut a hole" in the air to teleport. Probably not a deliberate reference, but that's what it led me to think of. |
