Though the melody for this song is upbeat, the actual lyrics themselves are quite depressing. A girl is stuck in horrifically unhappy marriage to a man that she not only doesn't love, but finds to be loathesome. She does the only things she can do in order to passive-aggressively fight against her lot in life- she drinks, parties, and has affairs. Though she is very triumphant about the fact that she'll never bear her real husband's children, at the end of the day she is still a deeply unhappy creature because she is not free to make her own choices. The black humor of this song is Emilie at her lyric best.
