The lyrics seem to indicate Neil is very aware of things he’s been guilty of, and accused of by friends and fellow musicians, and that although he’d never intended to hurt anyone, he knows he has hurt them, in his following of the muse at the expense of human attachments...
This would be more sad if Neil wasn’t a great artist and was just a sort-of “pop idol” who desperately needed to NOT burn bridges, but he’s not, and the MUSIC is there, as proof. But it IS interesting to know it weighs on him, which is what I believe he’s saying.
