The Butcher Lyrics

Cover art for The Butcher lyrics by Matt Pond PA

No comments? I think this song is about a relationship where a girl is dating a common man (a butcher) and they are living this cut-out life, but it's not good enough for her. He thinks she whispers she wants more under the covers, but really she's just bored. At the same time, I could also see this song about a guy (a butcher) who is a serial killer and his girlfriend doesn't know. She's bored with him and thinks he's unimpressive and nothing special and in reality he's killing people while he's gone (i.e. the flashlight and the cold fortune (death) line). I don't know; I could see it going either way, but I like the first interpretation better. Either way, super tragic and great song.
