This song is completely gorgeous. This song is about a woman who had a true love that fell out of her hands and fell apart.In the first stanza it says she was "this close to closing deals". Which is about she was ready for that person to be with her forever. Marriage, long term, ect... but it all fell apart. After her pain, she was forced to move on. "forced to make other plans." Anyone who loses a love against their will, always describes it this way. As I have said many times that "I was forced to le go...

Anyone who loses a love against their will, always describes it this way. As I have said many times that "I was forced to le go of it, even though I didn't want to. It was neverwhat I wanted." BUt, you have to ignore it, otherwise it does take over your life. As they descibe in the first stanza. She decides to sell her soul to the burning bridges. Burning bridges is a term used to say you will never go back. You burn your own bridges, and thatmeans you know you can't go back and you dont' want to. Selling your soul to the burning bridges is even more heartfelt to me... This is exactly how you feel when you feel like you lostthe love of your life. There is nothing else out there for you...(or so you think). You sold your soul, you gave your all to this one thing that you so beeived in..and now it's gone. You burn those bridges and you'll never go back down the road again, not with someone else. Never. And as she moves on, she cannot let herself get back to that point, becuase of the pain it caused her.
To me the secnd stanza isabout a man, who falls for this girl. The girl who has a past full of pain and the bridges she burned. He has all these feelings for her, but he knows she cannot go there with him, because of her past. She's so afraid to go back to it, and she's really numb to the relatoinship aspect. He has also been hurt in the past, but he is not burning his bridges. He wants to try to feel that good again, and he wants to take his chances with this woman... unfortunatly, she's resisting him.
The last lines are the ones that speak the loudest.
"nothing more than the longing o be uninvolved." That is about how he's telling her, she's just afraid to be with someone, she'd rather be univolved because she's so afraid. "Desire can cause heart attacks". this is a line describing her feelins on love and desire. In the end all it does is cause heart aches, and pain. She doesnt' want to let herself get that way with him, so she's done and leaves. And he knows his desire for her, cannot bring her back... her soul is sold to the burning bridges... this song was all about the flcutating pain and esire between two people who canot work because one of them is not willing to risk their heart again after the past pain.. it's eaier for her to be alone.....
I can't believe no one commented on this song. It's amazing. It's so complecated though, anyone wanna help we figure out what it means?
