Lyric discussion by moehead 

I agree that this is an beautiful, truthful, exceptional song. Although I don't particurlarly agree with the other postings...

In my opinion, the underlying meaning speaks of: Fear; Being overwhelmed; Giving up an IDEA of what something is once you begin to understand the TRUTH of what it REALLY is and can only be seen retrospectively, then finding the strength to find a way out and the courage to start again. (lovely and fine I could have been...)

Feeling week, fearful and alone longing for security.

It’s about living with the choices that we make and the pain that comes from them and trusting yourself even after we have made an error in judgment and/or perception.

It also deals with the way that we are perceived by others after we 'fail'.

An error occured.
