Lyric discussion by karmakazi 

The first line (pearls and swine, bereft of me) automatically brought to mind the Biblical passage that reads "Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them underfoot, and then turn and tear you to pieces." Perhaps the singer is expressing the fact that he's trying to escape from some sort of hurt, putting distance between himself and this pain for the sake of his well being? Just a thought.

@karmakazi absolutely right. How very well versed, are you? Rare to find deep thinkers anymore.... Well, the kind who actually get things right. Chris was a deep thinking introvert, and i assume you are too. I definitely am. So it is kind of a breakup song about a person who gave more then he should have to someone and they took him for granted, like he was nothing but he is letting them know that he isnt someone to push around, Like saying "you cant play me, I made that game." and now he cant get far enough away from that...
