I agree with Elected Potatoe. The song certainly captures the idea of losses outweighing wins in general. My only addition to that point would be in taking a look at quotes such as, "You don't have to have lost to be lost.", which suggests that external losses don't necessarily determine your state of individual or introspective success. It would exhort that each person experiencing an outside defeat would give in to that failure, but feel strengthened from within. |

I'd say this song is a representation of the mundane facts that one may be held within by some barrier. The "half pack of cigarettes" suggests a constant way of living, and it symbolizes the unhealthy habit of staying where you are.
Then, the flashing, directionless arrow that is connected with husbands and infidels serves to separate the narrator from other lovers by suggesting that he has a solid interest in a woman in a place with little aspiration for direction. |
