Lyric discussion by carriefish 

I think it's inspired by Tolstoy's "Anna Karenina".

It's basically a story about one person (Levin) who seeks happiness by pure love and creating a family, and another (Anna) who seek happiness in a selfish way, caving to desires and having an affair. It's beautifully written and goes through the ups and downs of the relationships over the years and culminates into this great tragedy.

Anna and Vronsky's relationship starts at a ball where she wears a striking black dress, hence "The Dress". Anna's eyes are a feature noted often in the book as full of life, and Vronsky's precious horse is a recurring symbol of Anna and how he treats her, so: "The light you see in my eyes, you do have something to do with Play the game namely love, play it like you have nothing to lose Horse loves you when you move with him People hate you when you're changing"
