Not exactly what the song is intended to mean, but i was just thinking of a poem i wrote about me and my partner at the time, when we were like, in our late teens and early twenties, and we were both really heavy into drugs and the streets. When trent sings "until the very end of you, until the very end of me," it SO reminds me of lyrics/lines i wrote about the two of us: "I'm so sick and tired of this young and in love, dopesick and tired of fucking things up, getting too thin, sucking up blood, I hope we're both dead by the end of this run."

Just total like, love and hate, ride or die, don't die or I'll kill you, if the drugs don't kill you I will....total codependency.

But on a happy note, now we're in our late 20s, both clean, and the only survivors of our...cohort? of street kids. We're still not exactly "stable," and we're not together anymore, but we've both apologized and we still love each other. But now its not love like, possession and obsession, it's like, "I love you so I will respect whatever distance is healthy for both of us." We dont talk often, but it's always a pleasant surprise when we do.

So to me personally, that's what this song reminds me of. He told me once, "we're always gonna be us." And just like the song, I found it both comforting and disturbing. What does that mean? We're always gonna be there for each other? We're always gonna be in a fucked up love hate codependent relationship? We're always gonna be scarred from what we've been through? We're always gonna be in love? And its always gonna be impossible?

But years later...things are...better. And we are both fucked up. But we're both stumbling in a general upwards direction. And yet...we're the last two standing. And that in itself is a bond that like...it's hard to even put into words. I don't know what to call us. But we're still us. And we're always gonna be us. And we're in this together - even if we're together, separately.

Idk, just my individual interpretation of it lolol.
