Cover art for Patriarch on a Vespa lyrics by Metric

I think the "stop trying to fix it" is talking about aging. Perhaps I'm completely off-base, however, when she says, "Until our faces all resemble dying roses" I think she's saying that the modern housewife is so intent on having the "perfect" house, family, life, ect. She tries to "fix" everything, and in the end it turns her into a dying rose.

"Promiscuous makes an entrance. Her mouth is full of questions." - Love it.
