This song represents people with Alzheimer's and other similar conditions. The characters are people who have lived their dreams. In the dancers case, her physical condition is the only clue she has that she is still not what she used to be. The writer knows something is wrong and is angry he can not get his arms around it. The song hints at great ones in society who succumb to disease. The reactions of the characters in this song most likely represent a norm. The lost days of lore are just more "most of us" type memories and frustrations, for the majority. All the same sad.
