I don't know the real meaning of this song, but this song is both incredibly haunting and beautiful. Hasn't lost its magic since I first heard it in the mid-'90s.
It feels like it tells a story about someone being very depressed that someone is leaving and the song starts off recalling the past, which was happy and dreamy and heavenly, but then the second part of the song switches back to the present where the other person sounds like they are leaving for a big ("dangerous") city like New York, and maybe leaving a relationship with the person telling the story, making them very lonely and heartbroken.
Big juxtaposition from te starting of the song. Plus I love how they put "millionaire's sons" on the list of horrible things.
I also can't belive the song is over seven minutes long, feels like three minutes...
