This is a beautiful song about a man's devotion to his lover. He has see the evil, self-destructive, and sinful world. We only preach morality and change to feel righteous, but really we embrace this sin to satisfy our weakness. The world would die without this false satisfaction (afterall we are only human right?). This lesson he has learned about life and he is trying to explain it to his lover to protect her in hopes that she will not have to learn the hard way as he did. He admits he is fragile but goes on to say how brave he feels in this dangerous world when he is with her. In th chorus he is comforting her, telling her that in this rain filled world that cries with sorrow he sees her white eyes (her innocence) as she floats through space (not knowing of the evil around her) and he is saying that he will protect her even if she dies ("leaves"). He is willing to die for this woman because he wants to preserve her innocence. His love goes beyond the limits of this world. He will protect her even in death by protecting her in life.
