I'm surprised no one has commented on this song. Devotchka is really good at explaining how things fall apart without making you feel completely empty at the end of the song.
This song makes me think that the girl is just over her boyfriend (or an ex that won't go away) and their relationship is the machine that's breaking down. It was so great and so new at the time but now the machine is rusted and old.
justl0ve's explanation sounds about right. I just got into Devotchka recently and am wondering how I went all this time without having listened to them when I've had a couple of their songs on my iPod from blogs. Absolutely fantastic!
