the most obvious meaning behind this song is:
a) not being noticed
b) looking through someone you originally thought highly of, or loved (probable in this sense) and seeing that they are actually nothing - "eyes of a fallen angel, eyes of a tragedy" referring to their nature
c) possibly the person this is referring to is hurt inside and they can't go on to love
Maynard posted a meaning dual meaning for the song on aperfectcircle.com... here's that:
"Up until the mid twentieth century the mountain gorilla was considered a myth. Oddly enough, a legend not unlike bigfoot or the loch ness monster. The chance of actually seeing/experiencing this elusive shadow was as likely as finding ones soulmate.
Rare.
Precious.
Even once discovered they seemed unapproachable. The only way to get close to this magnificent creature was to become empathetic. Abandon all pretense and preconceptions.
To bare an open throat.
To collapse into the arms of vulnerability.
All but extinct, these beings/moments are threatened by the black hearted.
The cold and oblivious.
The empty eyed profit seekers that overlook these
Rare
Precious
Moments."
this is an absolutely incredible... try to figure this out for yourself :) amazing pertinence to what the song means in terms of love, in terms of love... i'm still contemplating the title of the song, that probably has more to do with WHO this specifically for, but it is a song that has pertinence throughout all of life.
I think what he means by that is that the song is about those rare precious moments in life, i dont think its about being sad about being ignored, i think hes more comfortable that way, i think is above him to write a sad love song, in the begining it sounds like he doesnt care at first then it becomes more intense towards the end. I just think hes talking about seeing through this wounded person but the person cant see through his disguise.

Can someone translate that for me? I'm not afraid to admit that I'm kind of dumb and sucked at interpreting the meaning behind text in English class. Does it mean that he is talking about someone who took adavantage of him when he opened up to them? Is there more to it?

@Jondude11 Hey man, not sure if you will ever read this, your post is since 4th of December, 2001, and I'm writing you now, in 2015, about the title contemplation. I read recently a post by one of the three little girls in the music video, she said she's Libra (her sign). I think that all three girls are Libras. I'm just throwing you some food for thought, thank you for the whole information on the song though! Really helped me understand it better! Cheers! :)
