It's about a couple that could never come together for the other person wouldn't let it happen: "That one percieves as hunger
And the other as food "
"Innocent imitation of how it would be
If one the music entered, you did not retreat"
And all he has left is an imagined existence with this person hence the "cartoon garden" he could never know and his fantasy of the person 'cast in gold', this is how he wished this person to be instead of what they were.
parallel line is a metaphor of how these two peoples lives will never be one... and will never come together... ever.
I know this song so well...
