I'm pretty sure one could pull out different meanings, but I heard this and thought it was a song focused on artists in general. That artists, writers, musics, architects, etc. have this great gift, this eye for a color, or ear for beautiful sound, skill for arrangement and that though it can be seen as a talent and a gift, many great artists come to tragic ends. And it's almost as if we attribute their ends to how talented they were as if it were a curse as well.
