He’s wasting his life away hoping she’ll return to him — in futility. And in his heart, he knows better, he knows the truth, but he can’t accept it
There’s a line in the film Chinatown that I think epitomizes it —“forget it jake, it’s Chinatown” and when Blake says “I’m Chinatown” I think he’s referencing that sentiment — that he’s just broken and can’t be fixed. It’s just futile.
There is so much depth here, seamlessly leads into Sea Anemone (the next track)
