this song is amazing. I wish they'd put some downloadable version up!
it seems clear though that it's about a relationship, how it started- they were just friends, and it quickly became something else- and how it ends- with references to "now we're gone" and such, and of course, the chorus.
"through the calm
i waited for the storm
and all through the night
you feel so right"
this to me is saying that the entire time he knew it was going to end, but he tried to enjoy what he had....
"there's a thief in the choir
says that i'm a liar
while he steals the spotlight
i take the blame
there's a thief in the choir
one that i admire
as he steals the spotlight
i'll take the blame"
the chorus makes me think that the girl found someone else, who is accusing the singer of treachery and such, and he is so convincing that he takes the singer's place, and he takes the blame, unable to defend himself for what he did (or didn't) do. he admires the thief because he gets the girl... "weathering the storm" probably refers to all the crap this kinda stuff brings up in relationships that end like this...
overall, I think this is another incredibly powerful song by louis xiv... sometimes it's hard to believe these are the same guys that gave us the equally amazing (in a different way!) Pledge of Allegiance.
