This is one of those overlooked Cure songs that never did get the attention it deserved. I think the line "why each of us must lose everyone else in the world" is very powerful. I mean, think of it, even if we find someone special in this life, there is an entire world of others that we miss out on. (Not that we could have everyone in the first place.) Maybe it's about the confusion surrounding life itself--how we ultimately choose one life and one path. The other paths are lost to us and in the end, nothing makes sense.
