Lyric discussion by edgedduff 

This song isn't just about the breaking off of a love, it's about the unentangling of two lives intertwined. This guy created many memories with his love and now he's trying to get away from them so he can move on, hence the "painting of the walls". However as hard as he tries the there are still little things that he sees in his everyday life that remind him of her. Even though he's now guarding the gates to his heart these little things sneak inside unnoticed like a Trojan horse and then hurt him when the memories come flooding back.

I think you hit the nail on the head with this one. Very good explanation.

Patting oneself on the back :-) yes, the interpretation seems perfect. Very sad song, but life is about choices. We follow the path we're destined to take, and are rewarded or hampered with what lies at the end. It's all on each of us.

I don't think anyone could have said it better. Beautiful explanation!
