The loneliness of the "you" in this narrative becomes a desperate pursuit for love that forms into lust. As the infatuation between the lovers gradually dwindles, "your" pursuit is inevitably fruitless as, in the end, the hollow, empty feeling of loneliness seeps its way back into the narrative. > "Now the only way to touch her is the gun beside your head" This can also be literally interpreted as the woman has died, and "you" want to join her in eternal death by committing suicide. "You" grieve the loss of, not just a person, but a passion you held onto during "your" period of depression and hopelessness. Now it is gone, and "you" have "nothing"; "she", or love, is nothing. Perhaps the way to feel a sense of self-repletion is not to look for it in other people (in this case, through infatuation), but it is to look for it in yourself. I also interpret this as the "you" being reminded of his past love through mystical creatures or dancing girls. This also reminds "you" of the emptiness growing in his chest, and he cannot bear with the loneliness anymore so he resorts to suicide. The narrator is warning "you" that this phantom from the past is not worth losing yourself over. |
