Owl City – Fireflies Lyrics 16 years ago
peanutpunk may not be very bright, but he's right about one thing: this song is awful, derivative pap.
why anyone would listen to this poor man's imitation when the postal service exist is far beyond me.

YES I AM NARCISSISTIC ENOUGH TO ASSUME YOU CARE WHAT I THINK! BECAUSE I'M SMARTER THAN YOU!

The Antlers – Atrophy Lyrics 16 years ago
This is pretty spot on I think. The "ring" is literal, the narrator and the patient are married, hence he feels it is not only his role to take on her pain, but also that it will be up to him to carry on her memory. He's bound to her.
And he met her in the hospital, where he was her caretaker (not sure if it was as an orderly, a nurse or even a doctor.)

The Antlers – Shiva Lyrics 16 years ago
I think there's also an element of resignation, and exhaustion. It's like, she's gone now. He's devoted his life to her and now doesn't know what to feel.

The Antlers – Atrophy Lyrics 16 years ago
no yanksfan, you fool.

The narrator is longing to take away the pain and the sickness of his partner, the patient, and feels helpless. As well as this, she is abusive and irrational ("Threats of castration for crimes you imagine when I miss your call"), but he will stay with her until she goes, even though it's painful and traumatic.
