that's a pretty sweet comment... however, i'm still lost on lines like "i wanna be the light that burns out your eyes" and "i wanna be the knife that cuts into my hand"... one of the themes in the song is what Duritz wants... a short list:
not to be alone
to cut his own hand
to be scattered from "here"
not to "bring you down"
to burn out "your" eyes
to be that romantic ideal ballzofsno talks about
the stuff about being lonely and wanting to escape and still to be with the person he cares about without bringing her down all kinda meshes, but then there's the mean streak... kind of a non-sequitur...
