I'm working on a production of Bram Stoker's Dracula and for some reason I read this and think of the character Reinfeld. He is possessed by Dracula and used throughout the play as a spy but he is also in some ways trying to get away. Of course he can't escape the pull of Dracula and is constantly forced to serve his will. It's like it's written from Reinfeld's prospective. Constantly dreaming of both serving his master and trying to get as far away from him as he can...eventually driving him insane. Freaky how well it fits Dylan's song...and who knows with Robert it's just as likely these thoughts were in his mind, along with a thousand others, swirling around to form this song. Fun to think about it anyway...
