'I was practically blind.
You, appearing, then hiding,
Gave me my sight and heightened it.'
Brodsky had written it when his femme fatale lover,Marina Basmanova, had left him. His other poems describe Basmanova appearing as an apparition coming back to haunt him.
Perhaps this song refers to one's past lover returning to him/her as a ghost, and he/she can't deal with their emotional past, so much so that he can't help but cry 'save me'.
I get the impression of being haunted by a person, or having a crush/relationship that is steeped in romantic idealism ... so that seeing them suddenly "appear" somewhere, or maybe seeing their face come into focus in a crowd of people, is enough to make you feel completely lost ("Where are we?" maybe some existential angst tied in there as well).
Being around this person is an experience of heightened emotional sensitivity, but at the same time its terrifying ... the "Where are we?" in the background seems to also connote confusion or uncertainty, but you hope that this person could somehow "save you."
We all want something or someone to come along and save us & turn everything to gold, right?
It's obvious that I'm projecting some of my own feelings onto this, but these are the emotions it stirs up for me. I guess the lyrics are so thin, many meanings could to be applied. There is this girl I see out every now & then, and when I look at her face, I instinctively think something along the lines of "Where are we? SAVE ME!" ...
