I am a bit lost on the meaning of this song but was somewhat surprised that there weren't any comments. This song is (to me) a riddle in that I cannot determine what the theme or story is. I would be very interested to hear someone else's thoughts. Also, there is a reference to this song in "Sorry" from Roland's RATKOS album. I would close by saying that the line "So many strings to your bow, Why not let one go" is one of the most beautiful lines I have ever heard.
