Okay for the first time i'm actually going to answer the question and say what this song means to me.
Honestly, this song has hit home with me more than i think any other has...i feel so much like the "she" in this song that i almost feel unnerved listening to it.
Okay. So there's this girl, who is unhappy and has come to rely on anti-depressants just to keep her sane, and is almost on a self-sabotaging track; basically she's lost all hope. Our gallant speaker is close to the girl, close enough to know everything about her and to want to help her but is constantly kept at arm's reach, yada yada. The interesting thing is the last part of the song...the lines "lonely game of sympathy" and "selfish dream" make me think that the guy has just given up on the girl, that she has done one bad thing too many to herself? and perhaps broken a promise to him in that way...and he is starting to see through her front? i don't know....that's what i see...probably wrong, but in any event this song means a lot to me.
