so this one to me is about a relationship gone bad, fading as silver turns to blue, if you will. he's sort of desperate about this lover of his, and so he hangs into every tiny detail, even his breath. it's probably a male too, since he says 'chest' and not 'breast'. but it seems he's the only one who actually cares about the relationship, he's not being taken seriously by his lover, and coming second best. so he's desperate, and a night without his lover is something to het through with, like, he can't stand the wait and the loneliness anymore. and he asks the sea for answers because he's so desperate he thinks no-one else would understand. but you know, there's a beachy sound to it, so he's probably thinking things over slowly and continuously, like the moves of a wave.

he's always falling to the floor because he depends deeply on this relationship, and is deperate thinking it's gonna end. and floor feels softer now, since he's fallen so many times. the dog boy, media whore thing.. well, we all now what brian looked like at the time, and wasn't being taken seriouly, not by his lover, neither by the press.

he wants to give up on their fights, because he feels his chances are over, as the relationship's soon gonna be.

their bonds are shackle-free, and that's sort of like a hope to him, and so he keeps telling himself that. and their bonds are wrapped in lust and lunacy because the person only wants.. well, sex.
