This is possibly supported by "shadowed by the same light" in that they have both gone from the happiness they shared to the "pain that keeps" they connected now.
Her going around the earth or running shows how she is willing to abandon their relationship despite the fact that what they had might have been a good and worthwhile union. A breakdown in communication can be the silent killer of a relationship without people noticing it till it is too late. Despite the fact that telephone lines may carry such burdens as our feelings through them at times, they are physically very fragile and can be damaged quite easily. They also can represent communication in a relationship or between people in general that may convey feelings, ideas, and the like. First they can have some slack to them if they've been worn down over time, obviously they are strung on telephone poles, and they tend to blend into the background. I am still going to hold onto the "animation of sunken souls" as telephone lines. He goes on to even say that the only things that matter are their feelings at the moment. This is emphasized by him saying, "It's as simple as this." The word "this" should be looked at closely in that it implies closeness or proximity in relation to the person, place, time etc. The singer is saying that only the present is what really matters and it shouldn't be complicated by adding things in from the past or questions about the future. (Figuring that the basic heterosexual relationship would make this simple with my use of pronouns.) And I am also substituting corrections from what I can tell from the audio of the song.įirst Verse and Chorus: The Beginning of the End. Note: I am assuming the singer is the guy in the relationship and the other person is a woman. And this time it isn't 2 AM and I am relatively coherent right now. OK, after going over what I had written over a year ago, I've decided to revise and expand my interpretation of this song. Constructive criticism and other interpretations are welcome as I am curious to see how others view this song. Once again, no idea if I am right or so wrong that I'm almost back to right. The singer then says how there is really nothing simple about relationships no matter how clearly or "simple" things ought to be. The second chorus is his prediction how someday she'll find a memory of him and she'll remember how he did everything he could to keep them together. This is possibly just a metaphor for his tears and how they drop onto the ground or how his cigarette emits smoke. The next few lines are a pretty way of saying how he's smoking his woes away while it rains and steam rises. The second set of lyrics is about his hurt how it couldn't work out and the relationship and what he's missing out on still haunts him (is there enough alliteration in this interpretation yet?). The first chorus tells of his attempts to save their relationship. He then says how they are always close to each other despite her trying to leave and forget it while he wants to hold on to what they have. The "sunken souls strung along the telephone pole" could possibly be imagery of telephone lines and how many relationships begin to fall apart or end through a phone call and how many of the reasons for the fallout are not even noticeable. How their relationship is faltering and how the hurt is their main connection right now. The singer is at first explaining the situation of the relationship.
This is just me guessing and I could be totally wrong. Somewhere deep in the background of some photograph Whether deep in the background of some photographĪnd you'll see your name scrawled across the overpass Someday you'll find me standing in your path What I miss, I will carry to the last day Well I'm not finished yet, I got big plansĪnd I spell out your name across the overpass
