Cover art for Emma lyrics by Alkaline Trio

I think I heard something in an interview snibbit about how this song is about when Matt was in school and there was this girl that kicked him in the balls in front of everyone. Beautiful song(maybe it's due to the fact that the love of my current life is named Emma...)

The girl didn't kick matt in the balls, it was a teacher on the playground because she wanted to reveil that something was going on which she didn't think was right.
