Quite obviously the singer/protagonist... let's call her 'Fiona'... has caught partner 'George' cheating on her. The lyrics make it obvious.
I wonder what Fiona means by 'show the rope and dangle it above me'? Is the rope a metaphorical noose? Could it be a kinkier bondage reference? I also wonder what was written on the little piece of paper - a tryst time and address, perhaps? What could the photo be of - a simple snapshot of George's secret lover, or perhaps something more sexual? I also wonder what the 'beings in the corner' are?
I love the second verse where Fiona goes quiet, sitting in her room motionless because she's so angry with George about his betrayal, and she's envisioning never having met him. More so, I love the line 'tell me the gospel according to you' - referring to his 'gospel' of excuses for where he was last night, all of which are an obvious lie.
This is an awesome song; so are all this band's other songs.
