In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Sweet sweet pain- like a thundercloud but tears are rain full fists slapping thudding BANGING RAGING wanting not to be weak with woe empty hands-she's on the floor on the floor she SLAMS her empty hands like thunder it rings in her ears slapping thunder splashing in the puddles of her tears lungs heaving from the crashing dying dreaming that was ripped from her heart while BEATING and dropped all red and sloppy here, on this clean tile floor. Now there is a hole inside, where the ghosts and demons hide, whispering white wilting words of woe, hungry ugly crunchy things, HORRIBLE NASTY PERVERTED THINGS. in her head her mother whispers "spreading like a whore". weeping wilted pile heaving. weak with tears and dead with dreaming, wanting to be wanted and wanting nothing more.

Those drums kick in real nice. I love how this sounds chaotic and frenetic yet remains controlled like regulated anarchy.

Last night I was driving and was listening to this song in a really loud volume. It was extremely funny because the people I went by on the street were all like "WTF?".
HORSE the Band is really awesome!
the start of this song makes me laugh. Its just so clever and so awesome.
The start has a clip from Mullholland Drive. I'm not really sure what that has to do with the rest of the song, but it's a good movie, and a great song too.
i love how they integrate ganon's theme (zelda-alige woot woot!) into the beginning. it sounds so awesome with the drums.
I love everything about this song. Especially the tiny bass solo, if you'd call it that. The thing in the beginning is from a movie called mulholland drive. it's about lesbians, nonetheless. o.o
Yup, when they play this live Nathan often says something along the lines of "This song is about two women that have sex and then kill each other", so there we go!
hahaha omg when my friend listened to this song he was like OMFG what are you listening to??
and im like..srsly, this is suuuch a good song.
I remember blasting the start of this song and Lord Gold Throneroom in a school parking lot at lunch time, and restarting the songs whenever they got to music. Bahahhahahaha. Anyway, the drums on this do kick in really nice, and it's about a woman that just wants to be wanted. Pretty self-explanatory.
