okay, so i'm going to analyze this song by how i interpret it based on my own opinion and experience..here goes...
"There is nothing for which I am responsible
Just this baggage that I keep carrying on as if I had someone"
-it feels like he's got no purpose because it's just him all alone and he's got no one to take care of. he sometimes gets sad and depressed as if he had someone to get depressed over but he doesn't.
"Ok, maybe there is a woman somewhere
Who's still thinking of me
Or a girl with coal black hair
Who's haunted in her dreams
But what they've seen, well, it wasn't me
It was just some lie that they slept beside
I kept this from them but I can't keep this from you"
-there might be someone somewhere he's been with that misses him and misses being with him, but the person they were with wasn't really him. he could hide himself from those women but he can't hide himself from this one person.
"So will you look for me in that strange, bright place
Where the statues bloom in the park?
They don't need no rain"
-personally i would see this kind of as that place in her head where she goes to get away from everything and just think of her happiest, most desirable dreams. it's like he's asking if she'll be thinking of him in this wonderful way.
"Because how I ever got to you, I have no idea
It's like some secret door, well, it just appeared
So, no matter what I do from now on with my time
You will always stay here in my mind
I am certain of this and I am not certain of anything"
-it's like he's saying i don't know how i was even lucky enough to meet you. the fact i had the chance to even be with you was amazing, and i'm not certain of much but i know i'll never forget you.
"So I want to get myself attached to something bolted down
So that these winds of circumstance won't keep blowing me around
To when I land to when I leave there is enough time to sleep and sing
I keep running when all I want is to lay motionless"
-even though i loved you, things were too unstable and got really rocky at times. i'd like something constant, someone that will always be there for me to spend my time with. i just want to relax and be in love.
