Cover art for Save Me lyrics by Gotye

I quickly fall in love with a musician's work if it's artistic, it can be interpreted different ways through the eyes of someone who's going through something different or has experiencefd different things.

I completely understand your interpretation SamVerdin, and I feel it fits very well. However, my interpretation fits slightly different. The morning is the start of another life in the Cycle. The second stanza reminds me of the movie with Nicolas Cage who played someone who could see into his future. Every ending at which you look, it doesn't look like you'll ever exit the Cycle of Life, but continue a menial life in human form. Then someone comes along, perhaps a higher being like Jesus Christ or Buddha Gutuma, someone who was high up, and decided to come back down "travellin' south again" to save more people by showing them how to live. The "lonely life" is one not with the Father, or one that is with the Universe. This higher being showed the narrator true love, love that goes deeper or broader than that between a man and woman.
