This seems to be a sad song. About a couple going through times and the possiblity of a divorce. The first two verses are the endless cycle of fights (boxing analogy - on the ropes) And they are not sure why they continue on with it. The fact that the verse is repeated adds to the meaning.

"Turn on the lights and open the door." Sounds like someone is leaving.

I think it is "Block" because it goes with the rest of the song. And even though there is a ring on your finger, your heart is still closed. An end is a start.

Lots of feeling! And the DFA remix is awesome.
