Monochrome Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Mindsafire 

Cover art for Monochrome lyrics by Yann Tiersen

This song seems to be pretty obviously about the depression that ensues after an unwilling separation from one's significant other - by their choice. "But don't be scared, I found a good job and I go to work every day on my old bicycle you loved"... honestly, I do not get the impression that who he's singing to here is dead. I just imagine he's speaking to an ex-lover. You could say they're dead, sure, but I'm just going by Occam's Razor here.
