to me, this songs speaks to how powerful the creation of one person can be to another ("...and how it meant more to you
than who they were written for"). how we are often influenced by the creativity of others, as a result of our own idiosyncratic interpretation. we, as humans, have the incredible ability to imbue things (creatively speaking) with meaning, a meaning that is often very personal, and may not be exactly the same as that which the "thing" was created for (or by).
