To me, the song is about an ending. A bittersweet one at that. I can see where Lateralus gets his view from, but I disagree. There wasn't any rush here. It just wasn't what was expected. He's been walking blindly - by his own will - into a relationship. He knows what's going on. He knows it's troubled. He knows it can never be fixed, and so does she...but neither want to admit it. This is him finally facing the truth. Turns out, it wasn't love. It wasn't special. It was just the same old fake relationship between two people who are always looking for something more.
