The song describes the transformation of a musician in love:

 

from the exciting passions of the first meetings of the discovery of one's beloved,

 

to the dopamine pulsations coursing through the veins of the besotted lovers,

 

to ...

 

the addictive possession of the idea of and the memory of the feeling of love, and in the lover, erroneously expecting the beloved to make up for one's lack of inner happiness,  

​

 

...and so...as the song progresses..

 

the song shows how love transforms the most prized feeling in the world into a 'misery' of relationship squabbles,

 

and to the subsequent grieving that takes place that lovers take to re-discover their original free self; and in doing so, to re-assess  understanding of the madness of love..

 

especially how 

 

what had initially seemed as enchanting had turned into an exact mirror opposite...

 

And, in this dilemma state, our musician hero returns, in the end, back to his spiritual roots, to 'surrender' and dispassionately witnessing the spectrum of different emotions. of love...

 

and ultimately understanding the mind's possession and need for acknowledgement as a form of Mahamaya, i.e., an illusion..., but an invisible subtle substance that animates this world!

 

So, perhaps, the path to relationship bliss is for the lovers to traverse through two parallel trajectories of individual happiness, each to be pursued by each of the lovers, without dependence or reciprocal, addictive expectation!
