I get some relatively specific imagery from this song. "Crosses" and "boulevard", "sirens",...
"The streets outside your window overflooded.
People staring, they know you've been broken.
Repeatedly reminded by the looks on their faces."
This really sounds to me like Gonzales is alluding to a car crash, or an accident. Perhaps the repression of this imagery by the subject person. "Crosses", to me, suggest memorial of some sort--or a gravestone.
It seems that it would be rather unprincipled of Gonzales to abruptly digress from his overwhelmingly melancholy overtones in this album with a more upbeat song. Judging from the predominantly minor chord progression and near-wailing of Gonzales, this song really says lamentation to me.
