Obviously, until recently in her mind, she had a perfect relationship. This is an expression of the grief and loss that she feels.
In these lines, she's expressing that somewhere, deep down, this man knows that eventually his deeds will catch up to him, and that something very bad will come of it, but it doesn't phase him-he "doesn't feel a thing," and is completely blind (at least on a conscious level) to the hurt that he will later incur. At some point, she feels, he will recognize that he's done wrong, but it'll be too late to fix things, so that the fears are only a whisper of what might have been at that point.Īnd you know what they say might hurt you Therefore, she claims that he holds the fears "so dear," but by saying that they will "turn to whisper in ear," she means that at some point they will come back to haunt him. He holds these insecurities very close to him, not allowing anyone to see them, and not telling anyone, but instead expressing them in negative ways, by being superficial and lying to people. In the speaker's mind, her deceptive lover's need for deception is because of his own insecurities.
By the wrods used, it's clear that the speaker is hurt and angry, not 100% sad or 100% mad, but a mixture of both, because she says it's a "shame," but realizes that he "doesn't seem to understand" and never will, so to be extra angry or sad is futile-it won't go anywhere with him. This is talking about someone she's been in a relationship with who seemed great at the time, but after some time int he relationship with him she's realized he isn't quite what she thought him to be-he's been deceiving her.

The child's Navi that Lain used to use was modeled after the 20th Anniversary Macintosh. The electronic voice heard saying the episode titles is the "Whisper" voice from the MacOS Speech Control Panel, a program that permits text-to-speech.

The Be company was founded by Jean-Louis Guasse, a former Apple executive. This is a reference to BeOS, whose logo has similar coloring.
