What do you guys think? I've been trying to figure out the two minute pause between the two segments. Maybe it's supposed to be a song in itself, using silence to mark the profound. Or maybe it's showing a passing of time.
The first part seems sad because 'you' (in the terms of the song) didn't leave on time. Since they didn't leave on time, something bad happened to them (drowned or metaphor for scrambling towards something, trying to gain footing). The second part seems like later, later in life and later in the song. The narrator seems to be looking back on their life and trying to determine some sense out of it. "you don't know me". well, does he really know hisself?
