Cover art for Anna No lyrics by Right Away, Great Captain!

I keep vacillating between whose is the "embarrassing" one; him or her. And by going... are we still on the suicide theme, as in "go"; or is it her leaving him for his brother the going, or "go" as in "we're going in this direction" go. Like, how could it have gone this way, and everyone sees it? Yeah, I'm way too much of an English teacher, and I realize that a simple two letter word can have some many meanings! Any thoughts???

At first I thought the song was about suicide and it still may be, but after a few more listens I have a new theory. I think the key to this is the song title "MEMORIES FROM A SHORE" I wonder if he is just remembering how his wife cheated on him, and how embarrassing it was to just leave without confronting her or his brother. That would be the simple answer yes?
