This song cuts me every time I hear it. It's about sorrow and guilt. I don't think he's afraid to die alone, he is almost resigned to it. I think he realizes that the pain tore who He was in two and his memories are bolted within the person he can never be. Basically he has let himself become consumed; he knows he will never forget but can never go back. . so he has bittersweet memories he can't let go but can't allow himself to feel either. The conundrum creates this powerful aura around his pain. . .so dark to cast a shadow on the sun. At least it does on mine.
