To me, this song is one of the key points in the album, and also one of the strangest. It shows, not the links between Nicholas and Victoria, but the parallels between him and the two men who she loved. The three men all follow the same lyrical patern, representing their obsession (the word is even used by Nick) and deep need for the same woman. This says to me that, while Nick and Victoria are one and the same, he has also become obsessed with her life to the same level as the men who loved her.

awesome interpretation - this song also parallels metropolis, pt. 1 more than any other song in the album itself:

"I remember I was told there's a new love that's born For each one that has died..."

"Victoria watches and thoughtfully smiles She's taking me to my home"

way i see it, this is kinda like the older, somber brother of metropolis pt. 1 - the Miracle to its Julian, if that makes any sense.

Never thought of that. :p Yes, this song is clearly over Obsession about secret, Addiction, and Love!
