the thing that makes this song so excellent is its total contrast with the rest of the album. the album sets up this concept of a dichotomy of drum and mt. heart attack. drum is always portrayed as the more positive element of confidence while mt. heart attack is more cowardly, less assertive. in this final track however, we literally see "the other side of mt. heart attack." liars show that the dichotomy isn't entirely negative and positive, that mt. heart attack has some loving, loyal and altruistic attributes. liars again demonstrate that there aren't any real boundaries. the character of mt. heart attack maybe be cowardly but that doesn't mean it can't be sweet and sentimental.
