It is very like 1984. I was convinced it was about that scene when he and Julia meet in the park after Room 101. All the lyrics made sense. Then i heard the line "Choked by the gold on your finger" ( i thought he was saying something else there) and it became pretty obvious that he was not.

But no. It could be about 1984, but i doubt it. What its probably about is a man who still really loves a woman who is now married.
