Cover art for Better Half lyrics by Tarkio

"Well, this is the light. List the coordinates of your heart. Oh, this is the light. This is the crankshaft of your car"

I love love love how they use words strictly for how nice they sound. It doesn't have to mean anything, but at the same time it doesn't not make sense. Also I love the way Colin's voice shakes on that second 'light'.

Pretty much this song is saying "Well...yeah, I left you, it hurt you, and maybe it wasn't the nicest thing to do, but you sort of have that effect on people. This is the crankshaft of your car. I just got a little caught up in things. Doesn't the light feel nice and thick today? You're a little fucked up, also."
