Stuart A. Staples – That Leaving Feeling Lyrics 5 years ago
In short, my personal interpretation is that Stuart is considering suicide, absolutely overwhelmed by depression. Lhasa is the voice in his head of what he would leave behind, “The people that you love”, what is keeping him alive, but not because he loves them, he does, but because of the effect his death would have in them.
Not going to analyze line per line, so, in the end, Lhasa convinces him and he decides that he needs to give closure to some elements of his life before he “leaves”, so his death would have as little impact as possible on his loved ones
