This song could mean two things.. I believe that it is about a relationship in which both of the people know it is not going to work out. Stephen is trying to say to the girl that things will not work ever.. but if she doesn't want it to end he doesn't want it to either.

The Tatoo of the Sun is about a tatoo a woman has on her stomach. When Stephen reveals things about the tatoo it also reveals that this women either had an abortion or a miscarriage. There is also arguements that she could have had the baby. But from the lines, "once carried a baby for a while", we know she lost it somehow.
