I think the song mostly has to do with a girl who is following a false dream or trying to live her life as something she isn't, and the guy wishes he hadn't let her get that far, that far away per se, hence the lasso chorus, saying where would you be able to go if I had kept you closer to me. The guy is also insisting that she be herself with lines such as "wear your real eyes"
I love this song, its so good, definitely one of the underrated tracks off of "Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix".
