Lyric discussion by rabidglow 

what an incredible song. definitely one that makes my heart ache... i think that everyone who has lost someone they love can identify with the poetry of the lyrics.

the speaker has obviously lost someone he loves, and the only way to regain her is to drink himself into oblivion. i'd like to think that he reaches her at the end... whether through a hallucination, a dream, or through death.

jeff buckley's incredible voice carries the meaning of the song to a whole different level.
