It seems to me to be a song that is so intensely personal that it really CAN'T be explained. You know how sometimes, a songwriter or poet will write something that is very autobiographical, and he knows it, and you know it, and, in a sense, that IS the explanation for the song?
That's my take on things. It's one of a small number of songs that you can just tell is not hiding in the images. It's the only way I can explain it.
