@Kahiara Actually I think the husband passed away,
"She sang for you last night
She heard you were calling"
Many people say they have felt, heard, or seen their loved ones after they have passed.
"Don't be scared now
Close your eyes
She holds guard tonight
Go on forward no remorse
Life will take it's course"
This is said to the late husband by a third part (never named), who encourages him to pass on. Because life will eventually continue. The phrase "holds guard" refers to the ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/… ) which is a Christian ceremony held after someone dies. Now it is usually held right after the funeral, but in most celtiic countries the wake is held before the funeral.
"She danced with you last night so you will remember
All you have shared, a lifetime."
This sentence feels as if the only thing it wants to convey is their history together, namely, husband and wife. For the rest it just refers back to the first verse.
Mind, of destructive taste
I choose...to stroll amongst the waste
That was your heart
Lost in the dark
Call off the chase
Walls of thought, strong and high
As my castle crumbles with time...
I think of you
Oh, yes I do
Such a crime
You opened fire...and your mark was true
You opened fire...aim my smilin' skull at you
You opened fire...
I live tomorrow, you I'll not follow
As you wallow in a sea of sorrow
Lines cut across my face
Why you laugh at my disgrace
I'll never know
How far to go
To reach that place
You opened fire...and your mark was true
You opened fire...aim my smilin' skull at you
You opened fire...
I live tomorrow, you I'll not follow
As you wallow in a sea of sorrow
I choose...to stroll amongst the waste
That was your heart
Lost in the dark
Call off the chase
Walls of thought, strong and high
As my castle crumbles with time...
I think of you
Oh, yes I do
Such a crime
You opened fire...and your mark was true
You opened fire...aim my smilin' skull at you
You opened fire...
I live tomorrow, you I'll not follow
As you wallow in a sea of sorrow
Lines cut across my face
Why you laugh at my disgrace
I'll never know
How far to go
To reach that place
You opened fire...and your mark was true
You opened fire...aim my smilin' skull at you
You opened fire...
I live tomorrow, you I'll not follow
As you wallow in a sea of sorrow

I think you nailed it!
I think he had a wonderful catharsis when he realized that he had an easy out when her 'mind of destructive taste' 'opened fire' on him. He realized he didn't have to take it any more, but simply learned his lesson, and moved on. Afterall, she 'opened fire' showing her true colors. I get the sense that he spent some time feeling bad, feeling salt in his wounds, before he came to this epiphany, plain as day.
LOL @ "All WOMEN do this"
All PEOPLE do this. Apparently it's human nature. I wasn't even that attracted to my boyfriend when I met him but I thought he was a sweet guy so I gave him a chance. Well I slowly developed strong feelings for him and guess what? His online profile still says he's "looking," he does not care to change it nor does he care to reply to my emails when I ask who the women he's talking to are. Why? because he can tell I care. If I was still lukewarm about him he would be shitting his pants trying to answer my questions.
So you're right. Love is a mindfuck, it's a sick game and yes, you sure as hell lose when you fall for the other person. This goes for both genders, though.
