I'm surprised no one here's tried to analyze this song yet. All four movements link into a somewhat cohesive narrative, so there's a lot to dig into. That being said, I find the lyrics to be vague (especially in this song), perhaps in order not to sound so personal and therefore render the song meaning more universal to listeners.
I don't know if I can take a stab at it yet. I know the overall story is about the break-up of a relationship and the aftermath, but I'm still puzzling out most of the lines (again, particularly in this song- the second half specifically greatly confuses me with its use of pronouns, I find it hard to understand who's doing what and what's happening in general and whether it should even be taken seriously).
