And this is apparently an impression he got from the way in which they parted ways, i.e. Indeed from the onset due to his loneliness, the singer also finds himself in some kind of anxious state. The second verse implies that the breakup, if you will, was caused by some fault of his own, i.e. Outside of that, it’s up to “the listener (to) apply their own experience in whatever way seems fit”. Indeed, Shepherd further elaborated that it is “one of those of songs”. So there you go.īut that being noted, it’s pretty obvious that the idea that is being relayed is put into the context of a relationship. More specifically we can postulate that it is a romantic relationship, considering that terminology like the singer lamenting when “alone” at night and the fact that the addressee ‘slipped right through his hand’ is usually reserved for such scenarios.īut more to the general point, considering that Shepherd never classified this song on any particular state of affairs, would be the fact that the association between the singer and the addressee has verily been ruined. Or put differently this is a case where the mixing of two elements ultimately leads to only one being left standing. And that’s the gist of it as far as the official explanation goes.
