Ok, well to me, this song is just like a person's normal reaction to the loss of relationship with the person who felt, at the time, like The One...the opening line, to me, is how he felt IN the relationship, the constant references to "a void inside" and the chorus are after the break-up when he's realised it's gone for good, and the second verse is when he's still in the "bargaining phase" after the break-up.
Just my thoughts...anyway, this song has HUGE significance for me cos it was the second VAST song I ever heard and it was "given" to me by an ex who felt at the time like My One, she made me feel alive like I never had before and fear I never will again, while we were together it WAS like I was standing on mountaintops overlooking the world, like just being with her gave me wings to climb to the highest peaks dreamt of and just look down at everyone who wasn't experiencing such love, such a feeling of being with The One I was made to be with...then when we broke up it felt like all that was left of me was "some flesh that bleeds" and "a soul that needs you (her)"...like I was nothing more now than a broken down old sack of meat with no meaning or purpose...and unfortunately I still pine for her
