The lyrics to this song sound like the anticipation of a man about to meet his girlfriend or woman, whatever you like to call it. She's special sort of woman, not just an aquaintence, because she has a certain level of mystery and majesty - a princess of sorts. When he isn't with her, he behaves like a tough guy, suppressing his emotions and wounds with scars and scratches. But as soon as he meets her she lets him be whatever it is he really is, completely, in full expression. This scares him, because he has to trust her to not be as callous with him as he is with himself when they are apart. But in the final line he admits that falling to pieces emotionally scares him less than not seeing her at all, so he calls for her again.
The music video to this song seems to be about how the art we see, though capable of suggesting the process of it's creation, holds the observer off. Then these two kids try show what is missing from these safe and old artworks.
