this song is all about despair, and catches the narrator at a highly
desperate point - you can feel the hopelessness in his voice, and
that's the genius in Jeff's performance - it doesn't seem to me that
he's overtly blaming himself for all the failure; rather, he just can't
understand why it's all gone; and that may be worse
