this song... so hard to explain. so hard to explain ANY of his music. maybe i'm being over analyitical when i say this, but i think that "No one ever says what they really mean to say when there's so much at stake. so i told her i loved her." I mean, it's almost like saying that there's no risk in love! which is what the song is about. love has become a "safe" emotion... one where everyone is free to escape (through divorce) but is that really such a good thing? sometimes people need risk.
many people might interpret this song as another one of bazan's "christian" songs... because of the whole stance it takes on divorce. but at the same time... i really think the song is more about the value of love... and how that has diminished through all the changes society has undergone over the years. and might i just add that while everyone seems to think pedro the lion is a "christian band"... they (or david, i don't know who does it) don't even thank God on their records? Not to say that Pedro doesn't have any songs based around religion... I don't know... i just think that's kind of interesting.
