Cover art for Black Wave lyrics by Shins, The

The boy has finished his relationship with the girl. But he expected to feel more release from it than remorse, and he doesn't. The aloneness is sinking in, and he is left cold and dark. He tries to find the brighter side to this, but has ended up digging himself deeper into this rabbit hole. The grimness of the words that he has been preaching all along start to permeate, and the mood of the album reflects his new desolate mindset.
