James Iha proves he's a great songwriter yet again with this song.
To me the line
"there's a life i hide
but try to disguise"
is about not being who you really are for the person you're after, but being what you think they'd want instead. It's like he's coming to a realization that it won't work especially in the part where he sings...
"I want to believe in you and I heard you
your song you sing a truth is no other
I want to believe in you, dear...
of someday
on sunday i make amends
for all my mistakes
may godspeed be with you"
down to the "godspeed be with you" part it sort of sounds like he's bidding his love farewell.
but all of this is just my humble opinion. Beautiful song.
