I just listened to this song, its usaully one off the album I prefer to skip but not this time. The haunting rise just speaks of such loss and emotion. I've always connected it to the suicide of their old drummer, Paul Hester. The Time on Earth album is dedicated to him and I felt many of the songs are to do with him. Hester battled with depression and I think the lines "A sigh for loneliness to end/ this show is not fooling anyone" is completely about what he went through.
