En vitare skugga av blekhet

Älskar den här gamla låten och satt och funderade på vad texten egentligen betyder. Googlade det och blev inte direkt klokare.
Men låten är fortfarande vacker.

I don't know what they mean. It's never bothered me that I don't know what they mean. This is what I find rather hard, that, especially in America, people are terribly hung up about lyrics and they've got to know what they mean, and they say, "I know, I've figured out what these lyrics mean." I don't give a damn what they mean. You know, they sound great… that's all they have to do.
