this is such an amazing song, why has no one said anything about it?
the "spend" i think is past tense "spent"....little difference but means a lot to the song. very sad song. personally this i relate to my dad dying of cancer because its the first song i heard after he died. dont know what the lyrics were meant to mean...except that it is about regret.
the allusion is to the character don quixote, who was a guy in spain that was kinda off and dressed in medieval armor and thought he was a knight in like the 1800's. his horse was a goat i think and he used to attack windmills all the time. don quixote was confused and mislead in life - and very alone because of it, and i think glen is identifying himself with that. its a very sad song.
its like she, or whatever is gone, and he is still waiting to see the something that they wont show. the line "i spent too much time, seeking shelter - world without end, couldnt hold her" is very striking. its like he tried so hard to keep things controlled and contained, and in the end he couldnt hold on, there was no way he could have.
