( This might be farfetched but i thought she was trying to end her life because she wanted him to let her die so they will 'meet again soon' ) "Your mind is playing tricks on you my dear" "We used to play outside when we were young and full of life and full of love" "Soon it will be over and buried with our past" "Well tell her that I miss our little talks" ( Like they are eventually going to meet again ) This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore" ( Just her not knowing what to do w/o him ) ![]() "It's the house telling you to close your eyes" "The stairs creak as you sleep it's keeping me awake" ( I thought this might be like his ghost talking to her ) "So hold my hand I'll walk with you my dear" ( I thought it was a widow who's husband died recently, she feels the house is empty w/o him ) "I don't like walking around this old and empty house" I thought this song was different than those interpretations, but i think you guys might be right. (Encoraging her not to give up hope of becoming who she once was$ Now wait wait wait for me please hang around I'll see you when I fall asleep (Accepting this new version as a permanent one) Now were torn torn torn apart there's nothing we can do just let me go we'll mee again soon (Reference to completely losing ones former self and becoming a shell/byproduct or ghost of that person) You're gone gone gone away I watched you disappear all that's left is the ghost of you (Knowing they're not being logical and unable to help it) (Not being able to tell reality from their mind either version finding it inevitable thar it will kill them) (Her feeling depressed and losing her will)Īnd though the truth may vary this ship will carry our bodies safe to shore (Trying to convince her there's nothing to be afraid of) ![]() It's the house telling you to close your eyes The stairs creek as you sleep it's keeping me awake So hold my hand I'll walk with you my dear I don't like walking around this old and empty house ![]() Although it seems unclear if this person is haunted by memory or delusion. I feel this song is about one person's internal battle to stay sane. It's as if the male's response to the female version is to comfort her and it hurts the logical part to see this deterioration of mental self. I always interpreted it as the woman who sings being a more frail and depressed version while the male sings as the original encouraging the other to endure. Oddly enough I don't feel like little talks is about the dead and living or even two different entities.
