beautiful.

For me this has always been a song Adam is singing to himself about himself. He doesnt mention another gender till near the end. to me ive always taken that to be another indication of his alienation from everyone in his life..a fairly common theme for him. he's dwelling, in the song, on ending it all, or giving up in the face of the pressures of his life, of falling down, of falling asleep and remaining in that dream world of nothingness and everything...where he can still feel and be free.
