I agree with ukdean, i think this song is about a lover too
I think it may be about Bianca Casady (Coco of Cocorosie). they dated for a while and i believe they broke up around the time Devendra was probably writing/recording this album.
Bianca and Devendra both like to play with the concept of gender. Bianca usually draws a mustache on herself and Devendra in dresses. So i think the line "You'd help me zip up my dress" refers to the fact that they embraced and encouraged this deviance of gender norms in each other.
Another reason i think this is about him ending his relationship with Bianca is this line
"you had remained your child still born with no name. "
Bianca refers to herself as Stillborn (see 3rd CD of cocorosie :Adventures of ghosthorse and Stillborn)
I'm not sure what he is refering to with this line:"Happened nearly every night your own flesh & blood. " but i think the "own flesh and blood" may be refering to Bianca's sister Sierra Casady (the 2nd half of Cocorosie) they are very close sisters so same "flesh and blood "could apply here.
Ultimately i think this song is about the ending of a relationship that began simply with such promise and thoughts of limitlessness... i"m not quite sure of what he is alluding to specifically with his lines and maybe only Bianca would. This song is so sad tho and it truly is a shame they didn't last together. Bianca seemed like a better match than natalie portman atleast. Anyways that my take on this song. Maybe someone else sees the connection to the casady girls and can elaborate more
