    Before I was going off the psychological and philosophical deep end (that is always and indication that you should go to bed), I realized this morning that this theme of course has been used in Just Breathe too. But not with the urgency and symbolism of this song. JB was more straightforward; which made sense, for it was a straightforward, stripped down, get to the basics kind of ballad; this song is not. So not just the lyrics symbolise the theme, it is also symbolized in the music itself.

    Ps: I truly wonder how this song intersect with the other songs on the album thematically. More and more I think that this album is about self-realization.

    I told someone who asked yesterday that this song is like "Just Breathe on Viagra, having sex with a Journey song." I meant it as a compliment. :)

    So after much debate and rum I've settled on my interpretation. I can picture an elderly couple lying next to each other in a bed and the song being told from the point of view of one of the persons. It makes sense to me, at the moment anyway
