Gorgeous song. I think it's about the marriage between Robert and Clara Schumann. They met when they were young and he studied music with her father... their whirlwind romance was disrupted in their later life by his mental instability and early death. I hear this song about his struggle between his music, mind, and love, and how musical genius can have destructive effects on his personal life. Even though he has the courage to compose symphonies, he is unable to confront his love for his wife, and can only express himself through images and sounds, which aren't enough.
