Amazing song. That line in there, "Did I fail you? Well, you failed me too," just breaks my heart every time. Wanted to point out the line in there, "The demand to be loved is the greatest arrogance," obviously derived from "The demand to be loved is the greatest of all arrogant presumptions," which is Nietzsche. I don't think there's much to try and figure out about the songs Kris writes. All of his lyrics are simple to understand, yet somehow he manages to just grab ahold of you with every line. Hugely underrated song on a hugely underrated album from a hugely underrated band.
