Some unexplained difficulty which he encounters - perhaps usual problems in marriage - made him recall a past but still vivid love that in its moment touched him by hurting quite much, enough to make him hitherto cold and not easily to crack. This song entails an actual married couple. I have this possible explanation which concurs with some below. this reveals the humanity of the sign of being defeated by prior but not buried loves. And there is nothing she or he could have done to avoid it. After this recognition, no longer unclosed - no stone unturned - relationship in in trouble, and, it does not matter how many tears he bursts, she will not be moved, because the jealousy she feels now is just too strong to easily vanish. Then, wife and husband face struggle because she discovers ("after the fact" entails a meaning of discovery) that he has striven to keep this foreign feeling unclosed: she discovers that he is in fact a prisoner of this prior but remaining love (this is the final act, the crude reality his condition of being still trapped of this prior love). However - and this is the human sign- despite the strong he tries to think of himself, despite the cold he pretends to be, the truth is that her presence is still strong, and suddenly it is too strong to keep it hide in front of his wife. Then he thinks of himself - he tries to convince himself - to be sufficiently strong to avoid temptation, enough to pass her by without being actually attracted to her (whether if this attraction is provoked by her or not) actually, he attributes this current coldness to her, it was her who made him cold somehow therefore he thinks that avoiding her does not really entail a sacrifice, in fact, he thinks, how could it be a sacrifice to avoid her if in general terms both of them are not related to anything (here again, he tries to convince himself that she no longer remains in him as a strong feeling).

Just passing through = He knows she regrets it and that it was not worth it, but there is nothing left to do now.ĭivorce is not a sacrifice, just a simple word. No tears to damn you = He does not cry, even though No stone unturned = They cant make it work In the final act = They isolate themselves from eachother Just passing through = He knows she regrets it and that it was not worth it.ĭivorce / goodbye is not a sacrifice, just a simple word.
