Actually, I think # 2 is pretty accurate... Belvedere is a pattern that was commonly used on antique crystal and clay dinnerware. I think Josh is referring to the "he" grasping on to his memories of the woman by keeping the handfuls of broken belvedere crystal in his hand while he plays(not literally of course). I think this could be a symbol that "he" is having an internal conflict with himself in his quest to forget about the woman. I also believe "I" and "he" are the same person. Josh is telling a story about himself, and the singing about it. Thus, the first and third person. The line "I want my song but it leaves someone" backs up both of these points in a way. He is saying he wants his song to help him forget her, but at the same time he can't help but holding on to that memory. This line also blends the "I" and "he" because he is calling himself the author and performer of the song in his story. Also, that line is apart of the chorus, which means it is sung in both versus of the song, adding a further hint at synthesizing the "two" characters which appear in different versus.
Im done. Anybody want to prove me right or wrong? I'd appreciate it, because my brain is about to explode.
