this song is all about cocaine addiction. i know the band confirmed it in an interview, but just look at the lyrics. it couldn't be about a relationship:
the cousin's mother in the ditch, bright white=cocaine, strung out, almost getting clean.
itchy arms, nosebleed, blood rushing to the head and intense through the heart, all results of the drug. the second verse is all about how it feels and the effects it has on the body.
it "strolls our veins so effortless and keeps us entertained and interested," its an easy way to escape the depression he feels from misery of life--he describes that in the chorus (about the sun and gray sky)--and cocaine makes life seem fun and interesting again.
and lovers' song refers to his feeling toward the drug; addiction is like a relationship because he loves it and keeps coming back to it, and yet he tries to break up (get clean) when it goes on for too long and he knows its not good for him or his depression.
who would have known that all that stuff is packed into this poppy ubeat sounding song. its actually depressing if you think about it!
