I find this song...cryptic. Intriguing. I don't understand it, but I sure am curious about the musical setting for this song. For some reason, it makes me think of the Bee Gees.
I got a bit confused by this lyric. Well, maybe more than a bit--I'm pretty simple minded and have trouble figuring out things like structure, unless it's really exact...and "really exact" isn't all that artistic sometimes, so I struggle a lot. As I said, I don't understand what it's about, what it's saying. So I set about analyzing the whole thing, in case that would help. It didn't help me, but it made my original post long and boring, so I deleted most of it (I saved it, though, so if you want to see it, I can PM it to you).
I found the structure a little inconsistent, but that might be what you're going for. The rhyme scheme starts out pretty consistent, then changes. Maybe. Depends on exactly which groups of lines are verses.
The little inconsistencies introduce an element of instability into the song and, while I don't understand the lyrics, they do strike me as presenting an unstable theme, so that's good.
Anyway, I still don't know what it's about. But I think I like it and I think it would sound great performed with tight harmonies in some places (maybe like the Everly Brothers or the Bee Gees, et al). Maybe some wailing guitar sounds.
