This is such a beautiful, emotional song. I can relate to it with my last relationship.
The first paragraph is about how something is lost, that started the relationship... when they first met, he is almost saying the feeling that he got was like heroin... He feels disconnected and is wishing that the passion was still there, so that they could repair what became broken.
"No need to disguise or to pretend"
This line makes me think that the person is pretending that there is nothing left for them to save in the relationship, which is stated in, "There is nothing left, no fortress to defend." This reminds me of my ex because after we had a baby together, I got so tired of his drinking issues that I left him. I was very hurt and didn't want to but I didn't see anything changing... It reminds me of what he says to me now, that there's nothing left to save....
Which goes into, "You and I kept looking to transcend, The fact that I kept breaking to your bend, this is now and sadly that was then..." Reminds me of both of us had expectations of one another in the relationship. We cared about eachother deeply, but we weren't getting what we needed out of it, so we both tried to change each other. He wanted me to be flexible with his decisions to drink and do drugs, and I knew that it caused chaos and betrayal... The fact that I kept breaking to your bend reminds me of how much I put up with, how much I forgave him for, and what I was willing to put up with in order to maintain our relationship...
He claims that he tried, to stop fighting... not admitting that a lot of it was his fault... so in essence, we both tried, God knows we tried...
Basically, it is the end result of a failing relationship. Two people who may care about eachother deeply, one of them has an addiction problem... possibly heroin, or drugs, and the other is trying to change and sober up... and instead of falling together, they fall apart... one of them is sad knowing it's for the best, the other is stuck in anger and full of pride...
"Blame me for that sorry state you're in" Reminds me of being accused for their shortcomings and failure in trying to transcend to become something better... Both tried, it just didn't work out... one is sad, and one is left with anger, both wishing it had worked out, but upon circumstances it just wasn't meant to...
