to me this song is about that moment you find out - that someone loves you and that at that moment it is lost. It is kind of like losing your beauty as soon as you look in the mirror. Ever loved someone and then when they find out, everything changes- "You never really had to know." I always find this to be the case so if i really love someone i will never let them find out.
The simplicity of the lyrics with the bare music is wonderful- the repetition of the lyrics is similar to the process of trying to "blot" someone out yet all you can do is remember everything. Also when he just says, "and you feel.." and he drags out the feel it's as if he can't feel or maybe that he feels everything at once. It is so emotionally drained, and the fact that the music is just mellow adds to that numbing affect. This song puts me in a trance. I often think that the songs i listen to somehow shape my life- after i realized this i started listening to more upbeat tunes. But i still like to go back from time to time and listen to this song.
