Awesome song! I gave mp3's of this to an ex of mine, when she asked me what type of music I like. I turned her into a Jeff Buckley fan. She thinks this is how I think of her, but it's not. We're still very good friends. The song is about loving someone who doesn't love you back. Like thinking you're in a serious relationship, only to find out it was just a fling. It's about the type of obsessive, unconditional puppy love a lot of young people feel.
Anyways, one thing to note, on the lyric "Her love is a rose, dead and dying" Dead things cannot die, seeing as how they're already dead. The real words are, "Her love is a rose, pale and dying" Turn your your volume up to the max, annoy your neighbors, kill your ears, and theirs too. It's such a strange song, because the poetry is so sad and the style is so sad, but the Jeff sings it is almost like it's a triumph or psuedo triumph. Also, Alicia Keys ripped this song off.
