@[mrjobu:5737] You pretty much hit how I always imagined it. I imagined it two ways: 1. Your Way, and 2. It could be about a singer/writer who is getting burnt out with the life he's in while everyone else is wanting him to do more. But in hindsight the former is the better because it's more relateable and makes more since. Alx, I always took the "part of the furniture," line as a reference to the decline of the relationship. My guess is that she's tired of him and is sleeping around with someone else hence why she just ignores him. Mainly she just doesn't love him anymore; she's there to either to leech off of him or for the kids sake. Hence why he feels he's part of the scenery he's just there pretending. He's "the joke of the neighborhood" because he's stayed around and let her do all of that stuff. However he's at his breaking point and she realizes that which references his sanity and the greenery coming down. The guy at this point's regretting even marrying her and is getting close to divorcing her and getting back out on the single scene. However he realizes his prime is gone he's old news. |
