There's a story called "Hills like white elephants" by Ernest Hemingway. It's really just a brief conversation between a man and a woman and its never stated what they're speaking about. However, you can infer that the woman is pregnant and the man wants her to have an abortion. I'm not sure how to perceive these lyrics in context with the story. Does anyone have any thoughts?
I actually just read that story, and I think this song relates but instead of havingthe decision,they have chosen the abortion. but either way, the song is amazing.

I think that instead of it being about an abortion and giving up a baby, it's giving up love and your heart. Like one of the lyrics says, "I'd like to bear the heart of us". Well you bear a baby...bear a heart...

And then the chorus says, "These are the hearts of lonely people ripped in front of us."
