"The sun, the light in your eyes, trapped me in a cage."
Spoken by the protagonist; attraction steals his heart and shackles him.
"When you saw me you saw yourself."
Spoken by the object of the protagonist's love; the protagonist's feelings are unrequited – they're completely internal to the protagonist and therefore in a sense 'unreal' – the object of his attraction feels nothing similar.
"We were the ones that marched and fell."
Coming from a collective of unfamiliar voices; bound by the delusional love within his mind, the protagonist can only stumble through life. Refusal to release his star-crossed attraction weighs heavily upon his soul. As the scene zooms outward, we realize that our protagonist is not unique; thousands more are somewhere along the highway, all bound by the same ties.
