this is amazing spoken word song. i wish she wrote more of these, because The Mandate, Parkdale and Rock Me Now are easily some of favorite of Emily Haines' songs.
this song is really inspiration to me as well, about a girl and her life and how it mirrors the narrator (maybe it is Emily in some way?). everything is described to be so hopeless and mundane, yet the tone of her voice seems sly and detached. hard to describe but it adds such an interesting feeling.
my friend had an experience where she got to know a man over a course of many hours on a bridge but never discovered his name, and she said she would have not enjoyed the experience as much if it was necessary. in this song, the girl and the man she treasures work together for "answers" despite the risk of their "enemies." it seems to be a like a metaphor for finding someone of such value you search for everything you want with them, but when they go and ruin their perfection by voluntarily labelling themself, they become someone less mystical.
i don't think i understand this song at all, but it's fun to dance to and sing to. plus jimmy's got a pretty big part. he needs to sing more.
