Five
Window To My Soul
This scene shows us 'The Lover' and gives us a brief insight or 'window into his soul' as a youth. The Lover's problems with alcohol and drug abuse began as an early teenager and by the time we reach this scene, they are well established and rooted in his life. We hear some of the reasons for him taking the drugs - the mundanity of his life, the "grey town" in which he lived, the constant need to escape and the fatal attitudes towards life that grew within him. The songs ends quite sadly with a declaration to his addictions, "I want you and I need you..." The song also tells us that for the most part, the people who knew him (including his family) were either unaware of what was going on in this young man's life or simply just 'passed by on the other side'... (The Lover's son may also be going through some of the the same problems present day as his father went through back then)
