This song strikes me as an attempt to explain the refusal of strayed love. How his minds process no longer belongs to him, but has willingly shifted into her control. Her words, image, scent, and authority, exist in that "place" in his mind. In letting this occur he has sabotaged himself, releasing a fate as well as her into the hands of another draw. The best line in this song..."what if I never saw you again? I'd die right next to you in the end." That says to me that even though he's not with her in a physical sense, she is with him in a spiritual sense..forever more. When his dying day arrives, he'll be with her and she with him. Very haunting. He needs freedom from this incarceration, so he won't let her walk away in the belief that she owes this to him. Amazing display of talent. Earned them a whole new realm of respect in my view. True poetry.
