Stephan Jenkins is a master lyricist; let's get that out of the way. But the part that begins "How do you do it" gives me goosebumps. Every time. It's not just the words but the melody, his voice, the bass, everything that's happening in the song during that particular moment. It's without a doubt my favorite part of the entire album, and I would have put down my $15 just for that.
Umm, as for the meaning, it's pretty obvious. What SlickSerpent said. People tearing each other apart, only to mourn what they've lost in the end. Trying to cling onto something that you once delibately destroyed. But SJ has a way of taking the trite topics and making them unique with his words, which is what he does here.
