Deliberation

I like pretty much all of the interpretations posted here, I think how I see the song I take some of the lyrics out of context; thats just the way it works for me.

See us sleep behind the glass Unaware of crime Will you wake us up before it is time

Pure and safe behind the glass but still they can be found... or is it one person, the ego and the person? Duality?

So when you let me in You let me justify my own reward You put your hands on me And I learn the words I didn't know before

So I can see this as someone being let into another person's life, "There's no one in the airspace/Repeating cycle of love/no love" maybe some of the time it's unrequited love and its a kind of forever changing love/hate relationship. "You let me justify my own reward" their partner isn't always responsive so the other person feels they deserve something out of this and makes their moves even if this isn't what their partner wants or maybe for a time the person lets them have whatever they want, intimacy, power... companionship.

"You put your hands on me/And I learn the words I didn't know before" I think this person is inexperienced or hasn't been with anyone in a long time so it's like they've forgotten what its like to be close with someone. It all feels new and fresh, this is how it has felt for me lately.

Anyway I'm sure if I hadn't been going through a lot I would've interpreted this song differently, this is just how the lyrics speak to me - I'm not claiming I'm right or anything, its just my interpretation. Before this last relationship I hadn't been with anyone for a long long time. The Great Cold Distance sure seems different to me now.
