I do in fact agree with all the people that think this song is about love. This song can easily trigger emotions in people (including myself) that have had a difficult love/breakup/unsaid things/friendship/loss which is why I think it is so powerful. This song is beautifully written and of course reading the lyrics does not justify how incredible it sounds when cried out verbally. I think anyone who hears this song and is emotionally touched reverts to one specific moment in time, or to one specific person they failed to keep in their lives whether by their decision or someone else's. This song just brings it out of you! However I think this song truly means that we all hang on to someone we don't mean to, or sometimes even want to hang on to...anymore. But there is nothing we can do about it no matter what we do. They're etched, carved, burned, buried, memorized, their scent sticks to us like glue. And just to keep going with this, my favorite part of the song is "sitting in an empty room trying to forget the past". I get a sense of a double meaning in perhaps his empty room is his mind and not actually a tangible room and of course, "trying to forget the past" is another way of saying "trying to forget the memories". Anyway, as they say, Love is a Mother Fucker. I think this all made sense? I don't know.
