I like what schopenhauerpower said.
I think it's one of the more straight forward Destroyer songs. I'm pretty positive it's about an ex that he never fully got over and he's running into her again. She's obviously with another guy ("it was a welcome change
from the sight of you hanging
like a willow
off the arm of yet another visionary
prophetess east van. punk")
And when he runs into her she "couldn't be bothered to say hello or goodbye".
The "I just tried to sepereate an ocean from the tears we cried" line I think is referring to their breakup and how hard he tried to forget about her.
Basically he wants to get over his ex and is trying to forget about her but it's tough when he sees her with another man and she ignores him.
ya?
