I'd just like to point out that the opening verse pays reference to the opium poppy. Once the flower has become bulbous/swollen it is slit with a blade and the opium milk leaks out where it is left to solidify before harvest.
I think this may be relevant to the song as he too feels as if his essence has been drained and stolen (harvested) leaving him with anguish. Perhaps a good way to outrace the speed of pain would be to try and kill it with opiates. But then can we kill emotional pain with an opiate or are we just postponing it?
Again, I agree that this song is about a painful memory of love lost and about how we can be prepared for some pain and it just isn't enough for us whilst the pain you wanted to avoid the most will take its greatest toll on you when it hits and there's nothing you can do about it.
i agree with this comment but you guys are missing the bottom half of the lyrics all our secrets wrapped in death i hope that we die holding hands. i think what he was trying to say is it doesnt matter how much he wanted the pain to stop it caught up with him in the end and he'd rather have some kind of pain with this person than nothing at all he'd rather die with this person than go through the pain alone..
