Lyric discussion by ersatzbutpithy 

The title of this song/album is probably reference to William Shakespeare's Hamlet's soliloquy

To be, or not to be: that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them?...

Slings are bows. This ties in the tragic interpersonal-relationships theme of this album.
