I agree with everything written above. The guy is in complete denial. He seems to be using denial as a defense mechanism and he continues using it through out the song as if he is trying to accumulate the emotional resources needed to face his demons. He seems to do this until he can no longer hold out or until he eventually garners the resources needed and then he gives in. There seems to be two different conversations going throughout the song until both ultimately coalesce around the crack in the roof line. He is talking throughout as if she is not there whereas she is trying to talk to him and engage with him. His discourse is continually self referential whereas she speaks about both of them. He is completely absorbed in himself and even when he speaks to her towards the end of the song he just keeps repeating the same sentence. This is a fantastic piece of work which is enhanced greatly by two fabulous voices. Well done to all concerned. |
