Abandoner Lyrics

Cover art for Abandoner lyrics by Steven Wilson

I think this about the intense emotions, cold feelings and thoughts of someone who just experienced a loved ones suicide. The other being their loved who they felt were their other half. You can no longer see or hear someone who is dead so it is kind of a play in the dark. The speaker here talks about a rope that they used to tie themselves meaning committed suicide. It's abandonment through suicide.
