Cover art for Parallel Lines lyrics by Kings of Convenience

I noticed today this whole entire album tells a story beginning at the end of a relationship. One day I may go through and give my input for every song but not today.

People after they're through with each other operate just like parallel lines. They'll never see each other (cross) and therefore their lives will continue in the opposite but at the same time same direction, until death. The way I relate it is that one person has moved on but always has the other hovering around them somewhere deep in their mind.
