@Breaking carl I can definitely say that I agree with you in the sudden loss of a loved one, but there are several things I'd like to point out that make me think of losing a loved one to death specifically. A terminal illness or something similar; something that was known: his cause *and* antidote, the sinking ship reference. She's his dark star, she may not have lit up the skies like the rest of the stars, but he saw her very difference. Felt her radiation. The lyric about "How can you just walk away and leave me here?" This is a very real experience for anyone who's lost a spouse. They can feel slighted, hurt by the fact that their significant other seemingly gave up/gave in and passed on. Most people feel 'left behind' when their spouse simply leaves them, relationship wise, but this specifically said 'leave me here' - in the land of the living. He could lie awake at night and watch her breathe every night, simply knowing s/he was alive. Yet "in the dead of night, you went dark on me" - he saw their last breath, see them pass in their sleep. "Blinded I can't do this on my own" is also a very powerful lyric lending toward this; many who are left behind feel like they can't do this on their own, blinded by the life and love they once, a beacon of light that's now gone dark and their image burnt into retina/memory. |
