Bandoliers

Probably it is my imagination but I was thinking about a different interpretation: Maybe it is not about breaking up with a woman, but with a friend, maybe a former member of his band. Maybe this man is doing something unethical that Homme just can not live with, maybe he became a drug dealer or whatever. Anyhow, now they are on the different sides of the closing door, maybe even this former friend became arrested and Homme has to testify against him. So he is accused of being not loyal, but he can not imagine following the wrong pass.
