"If you're gonna break my heart, it might as well be tonight."
I think I finally understand why I love this song so much. Sometimes (despite minding our own business) we fall in love with someone so much that it hurts. And then, so it goes, we accept that she will inevitably hurt and dismiss us. It gets to be routine at a certain age (the whole "claws into you" phrase reminds me of "Great Expectations"). A self-fulfilling prophesy.
The pattern begins young, however, with the hope you can rebel against your family and the limitations they have placed on you. At 17, I too thought I could conquer the world.
This song is an understanding of the false loves that shaped his life and journey. Very sad, but truthful.
In the words of Stringer Bell: "Well get on with it, motherf..."
