I saw them play Thursday, and Kate hilariously dedicated this song to raccoon roadkill that they had happened upon earlier in the day. She couldn't stop chuckling at herself and on the first verse sang instead,"...and that raccoon is in he-elll." haha
I just submitted an updated, corrected version of these lyrics. Hopefully, they go through.
I kind of wish the line was "And I didn't reply to your letter because I'm not an idiot," or that it was both. It would really add to the bittersweetness of the song (heavy on the bitter..ha).
I can't tell if this song is about a failed relationship because someone has cheated (or perhaps some type of abuse--domestic, emotional, or substance), hence all of the anger in the first verse. Or is it about a parent's divorce? Or something completely different than any of these?
Regardless, it's obvious that whoever she's having this dialogue with has done something in the past to make a mess of things, which caused her great anger. She "gets it now", so the anger is dissipating, but sometimes that coldness inside returns to her--so to speak. I think the "they" who are telling her to just breathe, could be references to friends or perhaps specialists/psychologists.
The bridge is my favorite part. I love Damon's distorted shout/sing in the background. And the whole sound behind Kate's vocals, how accusatory 'You changed this all' is gives me chills. The 'I'm not here yet' really lends to the idea that she's still trying to heal about what happened. The offender (well that just makes it sound like a crime) tried to contact her about what happened (letter), but she's not ready.
