A story of his missing love interest and what seems to be a violent nightmare are told in this duology. In the beginning of the Part 1, he's been sitting at a window for some time, anxiously anticipating the return of his partner. It's late at night, and he tries to sleep before his parter comes home (perhaps without knowing where she is). His anxiousness drives him to believe she is standing outside the window for him. He remembers a moment of intense intimacy before he falls asleep as we enter Part 2 of the song. Terror dominates his mind as the concern for his parter inflates. Apocalyptic scenes are described, as the image of playing children appear, suggesting the terrors belong to him, and do not apply to anyone else. Intense loneliness phases him. In the next stanza he's watching the news (this may be the next morning or a memory from the night before) he worries that his parter has been involved a tragic event being reported, and is looking for her in the footage as insanity creeps over his mind. The dominos may be creating a theme of inevitability or fate. |

The song is about the futility of one to fix a conflict that deeply concerns him, but is beyond his control even though it's right in front of him. There's nothing he knows to do but to be there when the problem gets the best of what he loves. The lyrics tell a story of a man, who witnesses his lover speaking incoherently in a nightmare. "Her words they come undone" suggests the girl's words mean nothing, and the problem is beyond her control as well. |
