I met Anthony a few months ago, and a few friends of mine were convinced it was about coke addiction, but when we asked him, he told us it was about having to get out of a difficult situation, but being scared to do it.

It's basically about a girl jumping out of a window, because she's in a burning building, and she either has to jump out of the window and fall to her death, or wait to be consumed by the flames.

The name, 'The Glorious Nosebleed' refers to how people in high altitude get nosebleeds.

The name is taken from a short story written by Edward Gorey of the same name.
