Great song! The melody complements the lyrics so incredibly well!
I think this is about relationships going down the tubes, with time taking its toll and basically consuming the people involved. The change from being a feisty, cheerful person to having a monotonous and miserable life.
In the beginning there is an outsider's perspective, someone who notices how two people have changed as a result of their marriage. Then we get a glimpse of the narrator's perspective from the inside: him telling his partner she was beautiful, her never believing, and the whole thing falling apart.
Some parts of the lyrics above are incorrectly spelled. E.g.
"Me? I'm the progeny; product of misogyny,
Jimmy and Emily's homogeny."
I don't think there was an affair between Emily and the narrator. The narrator hints at being their prodigy and not being able to "cement" their destiny. Maybe the narrator is their son (being a witness to Jimmy and Emily)? And now, in turn, his partner left him. That's how I see it.
