this song really could mean anything i guess, but the feeling and depth in it (like most lanegan vocals) just scream at me to pull what's probably more meaning than originally intended from the words. it's the idea that someone dependent on you is going to try to take a shot at things themself... but you know (or feel, or hope) they won't be able to make it without your help, and you're angry at them for it, but you decide to let go anyway. "hung" is an expression that can be used to describe stagnation or standstills. the situation we all hate the most is waiting.
Tension Head also starts with a lighter.
