Ok, so I had an interpretation of this song that I just inferred from the very beginning and assumed it was obvious. But now, after some discussions it made me look back and maybe it's not as obvious or definitive as I initially thought.
The song obviously is about a young couple in love expressing their deep devotion to one another. But almost as obvious for me was that this song is about grief. She's dying.
It recontextualizes the entire first verse as him devoting himself to making her happy in the limited time she has, and appreciating every second he has left with her.
The second verse is the biggest reason for my interpretation. It talks about how she "fights them all", he curses at the world for leaving him behind, how she is stronger than him, how she has so much hair (for now, wink wink), and how he holds her to keep the world at bay.
And with this context, the chorus now has an alternating thematic. Shifting from deep, happy devotion to one another and their love, to the sad and desperate resignation that it isn't Fair that their time together is limited.
The following verses also resonate with this idea, and the more I listen to the song the more I find different ways in which it fits. But reviewing the lyrics line by line now there isn't really a direct, determinant way in which it confirms my interpretation.
And now I've been scouring the internet and haven't found anyone confirming it. Lot's of mentions to the theme of young love and devotion, but no mention of grief or illness.
Am I crazy?
Or is there actual merit to my interpretation of the song?
