The only conclusion I can come to is that it's about the wake of a passionate love affair, an affair so strong that, once over, nothing can ever compare to it again. The speaker (whether it is, in fact, Davey or not, I'll still refer to him as davey because it makes things simpler)fell in love with a man ("he bit my lip and drank my warmth from years before") and, eventually, the two lovers separated, breaking "Davey's" heart. The Second verse details another relationship of Davey's, long after the first has passed. Still, Davey doesn't feel any attachment to this woman ("I barely dreamt her yesterday"). Whether "Por Siempre" ("For Always") is Actually written on the mirror or not (I see it as figurative, like "the writing on the wall"), it's clear that this girl is smart enough to realize she can never live up to Davey's expectations, because she will never be "him", and Davey is devoted to him "For Always".("She said, "It seems you're somewhere far away, to his face"). Davey is left heartbroken again- he also has come to realize that, without "him", Davey cannot love. Hence, the first lines are about warning potential lovers not to get attached to him ("Warn your warmth to turn away. Here it's December everyday.")- Davey will only dissapoint. ("Press your lips to the
sculptures [Davey, like a statue since his heartbreak] and surely you'll stay/ for of sugar[attractive to others, but...] and ice [cold in "his" absence], I am made.")
Well, there's my first post. Ha. and a ridiculously long and really subjective post it is.
