its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
You've called my name a many of times
But it's hard to hear with ears like mine
I can block and filter whatever I please
I've been stricken with the lonely disease
I'm a mystery to your mind and mine
I'll be gone by tomorrow night
I've gotta figure out this life
There's no use in hiding
There's nowhere to run
There's no use in crying
Tears are dried by the sun
Noticing these moods of mine swell like a sea
I've been stricken with the lonely disease
The world's a mystery to your mind and mine
Our time will be gone in the blink of an eye
I've gotta get on with my life
Do you think I can love? No, I know I can love
It's just so hard to find.
It's just a matter of time 'til I get out of this grind
I've been stricken with the lonely disease
We've all been stricken with the lonely disease
I've been stricken with the lonely disease
But it's hard to hear with ears like mine
I can block and filter whatever I please
I've been stricken with the lonely disease
I'm a mystery to your mind and mine
I'll be gone by tomorrow night
I've gotta figure out this life
There's no use in hiding
There's nowhere to run
There's no use in crying
Tears are dried by the sun
Noticing these moods of mine swell like a sea
I've been stricken with the lonely disease
The world's a mystery to your mind and mine
Our time will be gone in the blink of an eye
I've gotta get on with my life
Do you think I can love? No, I know I can love
It's just so hard to find.
It's just a matter of time 'til I get out of this grind
I've been stricken with the lonely disease
We've all been stricken with the lonely disease
I've been stricken with the lonely disease

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

The Night We Met

This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
