My Twin Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Brainmuncher 

Cover art for My Twin lyrics by Katatonia

This song could be viewed in several ways:

1) A man has lost a dear friend who was so close they were considered like twins, but this friend moved on, possibly finding God and turning his back on the friend whom he views as someone who would not understand his new life.

2) A man loses a lover after they were near inseparable. He can't believe that she is happy with God or her new boyfriend just because her new life makes her feel so high and mighty ("are you strong when you're with him/the one who's placed you above us all")

3) Or it could be a sibling! NO one ever thought of that? A twin is usually someone related by blood. Maybe a sister (but could be a brother) who has a lover or possibly found God and the singer feels betrayed and alone now that someone he used to be so close to has pushed him away.

These are the different meanings I could find, but to each his own.
