I love this song so much, and I think there are many levels to it. In one way I think it's about trying to reach someone who seems really mysterious, or is hard to grasp an understanding of. I think of this in terms of myself all the time. I get so deep, and passionate, and abstract, that sometimes I have to remind myself not to go all "supernatural". In the case of the character in the song, it seems like he has elevated a woman to an otherworldly level. By doing this, he has put her on pedestal, and deemed himself unworthy. By doing this, she's no longer in his grasp. He can't emotionally reach/understand her, but he'll go to any length to keep this supernatural being around.
