My favourite Devotchka song!!!
Love the passion within a sad song.
I've struggled with the lyrics as well.
I thought it starts out "Oh these sacred midnight lovers vows" in reference to a possibly quick relationship that turns into a longterm regretful one.
"You wear them out when I come home each night"
"as the morning sunrise...."
Could it be.."and I recognize this room, it's the town where you was born" though I think "road" works as well.
The second verse is reall difficult to hear.
Possibly "feels better when there's none."
The third verse is difficult as well, but I think it might be 'I fucked them up, you got ne now" and end "every time she breathes/grieves, I surrender peace serene."
Is he resolute in saying he dug his own grave?
Accepting the consequences of his actions?
Regretful of the good times, or the hopes and dreams that he sees as disappearing?
To me, it's a song of a sad marriage.
When you're locked into something you can't get out of, or accepting a doomed fate.
