This is a pretty good interpretation. I only want to add something that no one seems to be addressing, how the music correlates with the lyrics. The opening lines where Avey is wondering exactly what happened is set to a sort of strumming by Deacon and/or Avey -- non-descript music. About two minutes in, we get a key change and the drum loop, with some added sound effects by Geologist and the toms by Panda. This is where it enters "song mode", where Avey gives us the details of this failed relationship. At the end it fades into just the loop. It is just a really mature effort from a band that isn't always, well, "mature". I really do think this is probably their best crafted song. |
