Man, I just love this song. I'm a HUGE fan of the Winterpills. I instantly fell in love with their first album. And I mean INSTANTLY. This song is probably my favorite from 'The Light Divides.' Dunno exactly how it translates, but I feel like it's about a guy who simply enjoys being a "bad" person. Especially the part about dancing downstairs while the bride cries in bed. Makes me think he got married for his own selfish needs (he doesn't really love her and only married her because she was rich, perhaps?). He's such a bad person, in fact, that even when he was born, the world became a darker place (and the sky grew grey). I think the last part about forgetting the author's name but saying a prayer, means this guy's sins finally came back to haunt him. He's never truly acknowledged God's presence before, so when he asks for forgiveness, he doesn't really even understand what he's doing. Anyway, that's MY thoughts about it. I hope one of you will chime in on this one, because the Winterpills definitely deserve more recognition!!!
