One of my favorites on the album, it's just so ... sexy?
This song, to me, is about falling in love, and making that final move to admit it to each other, hence the "if there's discretion that you've not abandoned, now's the time."
It also seems very intimate, "you pressed you mouth on mine", "I'll hide these words, they're only yours to find" and "I'll make it worth your while, just let me taste the sky", like lovers just being with one another, trying to make the other as happy as they can.
The line "Go grab your bag, I'll bring the gun," gives the song a whole other level of meaning, it makes me think of Romeo and Juliet to some extent (taking this from the Baz Luhrmann version), this is loosely of supported in the stanza:
"The broken radio was playing suicide
i felt myself falling
i confessed to you, "i saw a body."
you said you'd seen a few."
this is similar to the story of Romeo and Juliet, they both commit suicide. Romeo has seen the body of Tybalt, and Juliet has seen a few (cousins, Tybalt). The notion of Romeo and Juliet is further supported in the notion of 'stars' that was introduced by the person opposite the persona, the thought of 'star crossed lover's' and being immortalised for their love is brought to mind by this.
This song is just so awesome, there are so many possible readings that could be applied to this song... it's just how you look at it C:
It might be 'the broken radio was playing suicide'. In the lyrics booklet with the deluxe cd it's not capitalised.
Either way, a dark and gorgeous song. I agree with the impression that it is sexy.

It IS sexy, Ahamkara, it really is. Sexy in a really dark way. The verses with that killer bassline...ugh! Amazing.

It's actually "the broken radio was playing Suicide." As in, the band called Suicide...that's not a reference to literal suicide.
