everyone else seems to be thinking deeper than me, but am i really the only one who hears this and thinks abortion? I dont think Darroh is taking a stance on whether it is right or wrong, he is simply commenting on how hard of a decision it is for those who have to consider it. perhaps he knocked some girl up as a teenager...
Some lines are much more obvious than others...
"let me introduce you to a pair that strikes crude oil, but I see pyrite."-a pair, a couple...who do the nasty and make a child(crude oil...a blessing to some) but I(being the speaker or parent of the child) sees pyrite(this miracle is seeming more like a problem)
"planting the seeds you've sewn, is easier than growing the rose"-this one is pretty obvious
"let's go outside and it might restore us"- we need to gather our heads and truly think about this situation)
"more for the fire and less for the freeze"-in the demo version of this song the lyric is "more for the 2 and less for the 3", but either way this, to me, expresses the thoughts of the parents that they might not be ready to stop their young lives to raise a child. the fire being their ambitions and dreams, and the freeze being having to stop all this to devote full attention to a baby.
"so then the pair proceeded, another pulse defeated"-self-explanatory and kind of grim, the couple decides not to keep the child.
"bound by the salt, not your earth, the hat mocks the rabbit"- this line talks about abortion in general, how we, as intelligent humans, no longer work inside of "god's" framework. Whether you think it good or bad, we(human beings) have gotten smart enough to actually stop a life. the hat being the womb, the rabbit being the child...the hat mocks the rabbit...it is a disappearing act.
i cant really decipher the lines i left out...but these are just my thoughts.
I tend to agree with the abortion idea. I mean, i dont think every song that FTM writes has to have to millitary/political connoctation. This idea actually explains quite a few things about the song to me, one being the title. In my opinion, going along with the abortion idea, the tile is the the name of the girl involved, and this event/decision has caused her much greif making her cry. Colonge is representitive of attraction, sexual or otherwise, as it is something you put on to make people more attracted to you. The reason she got into this mess...

Colonge is representitive of attraction, sexual or otherwise, as it is something you put on to make people more attracted to you. The reason she got into this mess is beause she was young and beautiful, and seeing a beautiful girl sad or distressed, men automatically want to help her, which could lead to a relationship and start the whole thing over again. It would probably make more sense if the song was "Kyla Cries Perfume" but Darroh probably kept the word Cologne for the alliteration.
Another line that jumps out at me when you look at the song this way is "Planting the seeds you sew is easier than growing the row." That's quite a powerful metaphor. He's saying having a one night stand is much, much easier than actually staying with the person and becoming the father to their children.
I might do a line by line interpritation later, but i dont feel like it now, as AuntieEm&UncleSam explained it pretty well.

Think you've nailed this mate. This seems pretty clear and the chorus is quite obvious really.
