This to me isnt a song of suicide. Its about the part in your life when the excitements long gone, and things are hard, and theres bills to pay.
This to me is about a man and his wife, Shes drinking to put some excitement back into her life, shes become apathetic towards life.
And he works at the relationship, because theres always that time in life when you have to grow up and realise that relationships take work.
"They build buildings so tall these days"
is a line that helps him hold on to what he's doing, that gives him faith that this will pass and buildings become bigger. Its also a line of comfort he gives to her. That things change all the time.
and time isnt anything you can ever hold on too.
So if she woke up, and saw how big the buildings are, she'd appreciate what it truely is.
i suppose thats rambling, but this song breaks my heart, her voice is so powerful and the notes so resounding. Its almost as if you can hear her heart breaking through the sounds.
