Low Man

the girl i love put this song on a mix she made for me, it is beautiful to me

This song seems fairly obvious in it's intended meaning: a man who feels very distant from a certain woman.
My personal interpretation focuses on the line 'how can i be wrong, if the decision's already made' here, he seems to be expressing how they are separated but it wasn't his decision, and now he's a low man.

Woman, i feel i feel a million miles away oh she and i've been praying ive been prayin all the way woman ive seen, ive seen (patience/visions) passing away oh she and i've been tryin, i've been tryin all the way

that's my take/petter is not an easy person to understand

I think this song goes much deeper than a break up ballad. I think its about a man that left a woman who was ultimately everything he ever wanted in someone. He left her not wanting the commitment, but feels empty now she is gone......"The decision was made how could it be wrong?"..... I liked it's use on Californication. It is a show about a man who sleeps with random women all the time. He finally meets someone who is more than someone he just wants to sleep with him and vice-versa. They have a child together, and are stuck dealing with each other forever....She knows he could never really commit to her as a family man, or has it in him to be monogamous. It is odd to watch a man love a woman so deeply but not be able to give her what she wants and commit.....Just had a very similar experience with someone I almost had a child with.....I choose not to, and we don't speak anymore. I know that would have been my life a tv sitcom gone wrong, but not a day goes by that I don't wonder what life would have been like if I would have choose to go down that road?.......When I heard this song on the soundtrack it fit home for me....It just fits my situation perfectly:(
