hmmm, i'm not understanding how the conclusion that she was cut up got reached.
i'm inclined to agree with Destructingbeauty, she left him ("before your love petered out.") and he's holding onto her stuff.
--love letters
--blouse
--lock of hair
--photograph
these are the pieces in the ''jigsaw girl" and he puts them together so he can keep her close.
''once i bring you back again" --when they're together again.
they're heavy into the obsession bit, but i'm not seeing anyone getting cut up in the song. simply the fact that he refuses to move on.
Agreed. I think anybody actually getting killed here is somebody trying too hard to channel 'Possum Kingdom'. She has left him, and he's devastated. So he keeps little mementos of her's around, to remind himself of the happier times they shared together. He's being a bit obsessive with his wishful thinking and nostalgia, but I don't get any murderous vibes here.
