Sorry Malley and Circa but i have to agree with the idea that Jim is only using marriage as a metaphor for something signifying a strong bond. I have heard the theory that "Hiss the Villain" is a song about Jim's sorrow for ATDI parting.
This is forever
This ring will never leave this hand again
I promise you
AND
Hopefully life goes on
We'll meet up in the end
Worn out
These two sets i think make it very CLEAR that marriage is just a representation of something else and if you really do beleive that this song refers to ATDI breaking up then yeah it makes perfect sense.
ATDI was what bonded them together, was the marriage they promised forever, and if you really want to stretch it you could say that the fact that JIM and CEDRIC both are singers relates to this line.
We can shake our fists in vain
Scream and lose our voice
Ofcourse im sure it just refers to arguements but almost the entire ending to the songs points towards a resolution later in life and meeting up at the end. This alone strongly goes against your theory of a marriage, as in a marriage you work thru your problems till death but JIM is basically saying they will go on without one another(unlike in a marriage) and kinda displays a passing of time when he says
"i keep forgetting why we fought"
Only to finally froget all their grievances later on and be bigger men about it, in retrospect they can "smile on it" In my opinion these are JIMS hopes for the future of their relationship.
