Wow.... I have to say I enjoy yall's take on this song but I personally didn't view it about suicide at all...
I felt like she wrote this song almost word for word about me.....
I felt it was about a man who was dark and depressed and detached and was in love with a woman but wasn't with her. so instead he slept around with various women to fill a void. all for just the touch.... as opposed to love.... she was someone who cared about him and tried to reach through to him but he always kept everyone at a distance. and he lived a shallow existence of sleeping around depressed about a lost love. women adored him and tried to get more out of him but he never opened up enough ....
and so instead of getting to wake up next to someone he loved.... they would leave in the night as it was purely sexual relationships ....
so instead of being told good morning which is all he wanted he would only get told good night.
the hanging reference I felt was more symbolic of his dependence on sexual outlets instead of real love and relationships of substance ....
so she is writing about a man she once tried to reach through to but never got through so she gave up on him. and that's what all the women in his life did.
he did nothing but continue his shallow existence of escaping the pain of a lost love through various sexual encounters......
I relate to this interpretation so well..... I lost my soulmate and tried to fill that void the same way for a very long time...... it resonates painfully for me....
I no longer do this as I no longer gain anything
from it I dont even get pleasure from sex anymore as I miss her so much.... but this speaks to me as someone I used to be for so long......
