not to blow you all out of the water, but the song is actually about eric ross, tori's love affair for much of the 90s. trent rezner was just a good friend. she did not seek anything more than a friendship with him. much of boys for pele was about the loss of a relationship between her and ross, and now this song is a sort of closing of that chapter. this is proven with the lines:
And if you could see me now, said if you could see me now.
Girls you've got to know when it's time to turn the page.
Or when you're only wet because of all the rain.
Because of... because of... all the rain, because of.
to prove my point, she actually talks about it in a concert. she doesn't specifically mention eric's name, but she says it was a crewman which eric was. here is the link: youtube.com/watch
She's actually talking about Mark Hawley, one of her sound engineers, whom she became romantically involved with in 1994/1995 and married in 1998. He still works on the sound for her live concerts - which, I believe, is why she appears to be looking straight into the middle of the audience (where the soundboard is often located) when she says in the video that she "really, really, really broke" the rule.

Tori's relationship with Eric Rosse began in the late 1980s (before her solo career began) and ended in 1994 during the Under The Pink tour.

The song is not about any of them. It's about a man she met at a lounge she performed at in LA " I can feel the West in you". The story goes that he came often to visit her and on one occasion worked with her on a lyric to another song with the word " west" in it. Thus the capital W. Their friendsship began to blossom into something more apparently.She also wrote China about him and Eric. They had a falling out because she couldn't choose between them.And then he dissappeared. " He moved like the sunset"....

" He moved like the sunset". So she had a northern lad but not exactly had. He was from Ohio or Illinois and I think also Mexico.
Then years later I was told by a friend close to the source that he did a fictional article for a fetish magazine that included several drawings about fetish hookers. One of them was a caricature of Tori as a leather Rock Star . The song Hey Jupiter may also be about the discovery of this article. I am told that his star sign was Jupiter. He pictured her playing a guitar. Thus the lyric " you go too far when pianos try to be guitars". and " I loved his secret places". How very strange and intriguing. Apparently she was quite taken by this man.
