The title of this song really says alot about it...the verse it's refering to begins, "Love never fails."
In a lot of his songs, he calls love nothing but false. But it makes me think, maybe the only love he doesn't like, is the love he's always had. Maybe he's trying to say that love may be the one thing that can last forever, but none of us can have it.
Maybe he's just contridicting himself to make us think about what love really is.
I disagree. I don't believe John Darnielle's ever claimed love is false-- but he does claim that it's different from our preconceptions. In an interview on NPR, he said: "We'll talk about how love is this benign comforting force-- it's not that, it's wild."
