Hmm, a break-up song, eh? I never quite thought of it that way, but I can see how others might.
I think it's maybe a little different that that. I think it's about living in the real world (which is fast, hectic, sometimes violent, etc.) but WANTING to slow things down to appreciate the love of another. Possibly the song is about the search for that time/place (i.e. utopia) but never being able to find it.
Musically the song takes that same journey. Real life rushing by... finally some time for love (when the songs slows down).... then the hectic real life comes crashing back again.
