This isn't the typical breakup song. The couple in it has become so intertwined with one another that they need heavy machinery just to separate their lives.
I spent the last three years living my life for my wife. Now suddenly she is gone, and I am left with a house of good intentions that I need to tear down. I cannot move on with my life until I tear it down and let go of all the emotional baggage associated with it.
As I said earlier, it is not just about divorce.
I played this song a lot in 2005. I was in an on/off long-distance relationship for 5 years, and it had just ended. It ended because I am an idiot. I was an absolute idiot. I wanted to spend my life with her, but was not able to see myself dropping my life "here" to move "there." Biggest mistake of my life. I only ended up with my wife because I fucked that relationship up.
Now I look back with everything that I know, at the mistakes I made, and there is not a god damn thing I can do about it. I never tore down the house from the first relationship. The way I feel has not degraded a bit in the past 4 years. So I relate to this song, and to tearing down the relationships I once had to move on with my life. I am someone who lives through his music. I had sincerely hoped I would never find this song on my playlist again. Yet there it is... reminding me of current tasks and past mistakes.
I think I might be rambling... but I am going to post this anyways.
This is certainly a break up song, though not necessarily about divorce. I am going through a divorce right now, and yeah it definitely describes it pretty well. It is not a hateful divorce, just a difficult one. Before we even filed for divorce my wife had a fiancé. Maybe I should be offended, maybe I should be insulted, maybe I should be angry. Yet I am not. No, I am more worried about her moving too fast and making rash decisions. Really, that's what this song is about... the relationship is over, but we still care about one another. I want her to be happy. I want her to be successful. I do not want to see her in a bad relationship.
