I think this whole song is an open letter to his family and hometown, basically just his need for escape reiterated into a poetic form.
“I'll admit I'm full of shit. / That's how I know I love you. / That's how I know I trust you.”
He will admit that he shouldn’t have left his family or hometown for the very principle, and because of that he hopes they both know that he loves and trusts them.
“You're not sure if there's a right or wrong. / But it feels like there is when I treat you like this.”
It isn’t known whether he should’ve stayed or not, but when he’s rude and abandons in a sense, it’s easily exclaimed that he is wrong. Perhaps arguing in his family leads to people blaming him.
“I go outside.”
He leaves, goes outside his hometown.
“I can't explain why it's a sin, the state I'm living in. / I just feel so tired.”
He can’t explain why he wanted to leave other than he just felt so tired. It was just something he truly felt he needed.
“My mouth is full, your heart is an apple. / Your mouth is full, my heart is an apple.”
Clearly, eating each other up. I still believe this is family. Family are supposed to love and support each other, but end up taking chunks out of each other.
This song is very simple and my explanation doesn’t do it any any justice at all. It’s so wonderfully sung, the part where it is only water sounds gives me chills. I also think it’s alluding to Snow White, the fact that “family” (sort of) dumped her off in the woods, and feeding her an apple. The entire thing, I believe, is a loose reference to that, perhaps only in spirit. Haunting.
