In one verse he sings: "We walked down a crowded street, you took my hand and danced with me, Images." One of the questions about his multiple claims regarding these images he is having is: what are they? They could be memories, hopes, dreams or simply his imagination.

What helped me come to this point of view was when I saw how completely descriptive she is with the lyrics while talking about the images that haunt her. He paints a picture of his memories for his listener... in the middle of the paper... for this reason too.
