Knows just when i let a bottom be dead Never too sure if it's the truth or a lie

The first line, I'm pretty sure, should be: "Closed just one eye, and let a part of me die"

I always interpret this as him sitting in the psychotherapist's office, squinting to look more carefully at a Rorschach test, or something similar. It correlates with the therapist assigning a "negative" diagnosis to what Rody knows is just his own personality, regrets, quirks and all. By resigning to the diagnosis he has let "a part of himself die."
