| While I agree, his lyricism is unmatched, we can't underestimate the power of his voice. If anyone else sang this song, it wouldn't simply be as inspiring, as hearfelt, or as honest. There is something about his voice that is able to cut right into emotion. When he sings, it's pure sonic melancholy. But of course, any one who can write, "How I always held close in your fear" is a poetic genius. | |

I read this song in three parts: Memory, regret, and the pain caused by their synergy. The first few lines are all about memory: how elusive, how haunting, how it hovers and rains images of past a with someone whom we loved truly yet poory, a past we wish to recapture. The following lines express our regret for simply "not": not letting her know how truly we felt. Maybe if we were not preoccupied with the words, we might have shown her with simple actions. The two together wreak havoc within, become a monster inside, clawing into every aspect of our lives. And because of this, there is no longer any hope, no dreams to speak of. |
