your interpretation of this song is very interesting, and i rather like it! i always thought of it more as a "jekyll and hyde" situation, where the singer and the evil twin are essentially intertwined, if not the same person, and the "evil twin" ruins the singer's life but also makes things convenient for him because he now has someone to blame on the awful actions that he wanted to take but couldn't because he doesn't want it to be linked to his name ("Search lights look for an alibi, but

I'll be home by then" and "I'd hate to see you leave 'Cause I have grown so grateful for the blame you save me from.")

Oooh, my evil twin and I have so much love for this share of complex and contradictory duality. Thanks for prodding those tender spaces with comfortable music and reminding me in not alone.
