I LOVE THE LAST VERSE. find a house you don't have to rebuild. it's seems that all arcade fire music is about growing up and a loss of innocence. he's singing about how she wants to burn everything about her past (her sister is somehow catalysing this "your sister pours the gasoline") and he thinks "if I let where I'm from burn I can never return". however he seems to understand where she's coming from- she's had a harsh past and he'll take care of her and let her use his past (house) but confronting the past will never be easy "there's no interstate to take me there". the song uses clear and familiar symbolism- perhaps cause the win's brother has a degree in poetry?
