This song is tragic and beautiful, I agree. The instruments are slow and depressing-especially the bass. I can only imagine the troubles this person is in, the conflict he is having with himself, assuming he could have been the cause of this accident it sounds like. He sounds hopeless, or on the verge of losing all hope. The disparity in his voice tugs at my heart strings.
I agree with Love BreakUp Songs.He waits for her, he's loyal. It expresses what's going on beyond their realm as she sits on a threshold and he hopes for her life. But not only that, the words paint a vivid image of Janie in my head and I feel sorrow. I can see the small description of the accident as if the adrenaline had been pumping so much and fast that all he really recalls are the major bits and pieces. He pleads to know she's fine, but no matter what he knows she isn't. "I see you now only in pieces," either she's got lots of broken bones and injuries, or she's slipping away from him and dying. I think of a hospital with the words hopeless cathedral added with blankets and needles. The part of asking what his hope is to look like-the music becomes darker and stops. Then after silence it picks up in speed as if hes gone into a rage.
I like the line "dreams are for dreaming, buckets for bleeding. Eyes are for seeing, but you'll still be sleeping." Either he knows what's going to happen and is pessimistic. Or the worse thing did happen and she couldn't survive. He's given up.
@XxxblueberriesxxX I think the line "dreams are for dreaming, buckets for bleeding" is a reference to Buckets for Bullet Wounds. It would make sense because this is the last track and Buckets for Bullet Wounds was the first.
