this song is so touching.. the first time I heard it, I didn't take much to the melody.. but it grew on me, and is now one of my favourite songs - I wish I knew the deeper meaning of the lyrics.. what I've come to is that it's about a guy, whose girl friend must've gotten seriously hurt and put in the hospital, seemingly unable to contact with him.. either a coma or death. So he was so dependant on this girl in the past, that he doesn't know what to do with himself anymore, he can't work without her.

The faded lyrics seem as if it's someone singing in the background. It would make perfect sense that it's about a girl in a coma. The title "The Background" to me implies she may be laying in the hospital bed but still sort of hears his faded voice in the background.

i dont think that the girl that stephan jenkins is singing about in this song got hurt and went to the hospita, i think that there is something more meaningful, like a struggle in the relationship which the hospital represents and they had to end their relationship and it is basically like she has passed on becasue he cant live without her.
