I have always thought I related to MI a lot more than any other ev song, or at least after my stepsister died. When she passed, I could remember having terrible dreams and then when I would wake up I would still think she was alive. The line "if you have to leave I wish you would just leave.." hit really close to home for me. also i remember sometimes walking into a room and not seeing her or anything like that, but i would smell her perfume and feel her there. so i felt the whole "...chased away all the sanity in me." I just think the song means to me the presence of someone who is no longer with you still there. I knew that before, but never felt it until someone I loved was taken away. The pain was there, I never thought it would end, and well I still felt like she was there. I was numb and in disbelief. thats my interpretation of MI.
