this song strikes me as the situation of two people that got themselves into something they should have never touched. it could be anything, perhaps drugs (''do you really want the sugar pill''), or prostitution maybe (''as i'm sure your kiss remains employed), but it never says for sure. what is clear is that they loved eachother, and that over time they were torn apart by the situation. he feels alone, abandoned, and deprived of love while she gets deeper into whatever they were doing... thus he says:
''are you happy where youre standing still,
do you really want the sugar pill?''
with 'sugar pill' representing the temptation, the risk, the thrill... whatever.
in the end he loses her, and he regrets what happened... its ''killing everything in'' him. perhaps her/their addiction took her life, and thats why he says:
''i feel that when i'm old
i'll look at you and know
the world was beautiful''
also... ''you say that love goes anywhere...''
could be representative of whats beyond death, which is where he lost her, and therefore he says that in his ''darkest time, its just enough to know its there''... as a comfort that somewhere beyond the thread still exists, and that shes not forever gone
yeah, i really like that interpretation, that maybe whatever the bad thing was, killed her [drugs probably, imo]. that could fit in with the whole polaris/north star thing, as he's looking up to the sky remembering her, perhaps with the whole cheesy her-looking-down-on-him thing. that would mean the "love goes anywhere... darkest time..." lines fit beautifully.
