It seems to me like this girl he loves has a bad reputation. She's got "hard edges", "yellow burning eyes", and she's done something wrong ("the incident"). She "lives in the darkness". This guy loves her in spite of it, and wants to join her. He's willing to become a hare like her if it means they get to be together (even though it doesn't sound like that's a good thing).
A great metaphor for the ways we lower ourselves in the name of love and allow our morality/values to change.
I think it had more to do with my attitudes about love than women. I had a dark outlook on that at this point in my life.

Just want to say, I wrote this 7 years ago--needless to say, my interpretation is different now. Thanks for your comment. Saw your interpretation and love the perspective. Amazing song.

@anban To assume this I think this says more about your attitudes towards women than it does about the meaning of this song!

@amanda1027, that's a fair reaction. Perhaps!
