I think… He lets himself in, meets the new bf, has an explosive fight, dies but doesn’t realise, then gauges peoples reaction.
i think he let himself into his ex's apartment (obviously now someone elses girlfriend), where he met her new boyfriend. he's clearly been seeing her again ('think the secrets out')
the army references start with 'the munitions rain' and carry on to describe the ferociousness of the fight that breaks out.
'It's like I'm watching the A4 paper taking over the guillotine' i think this is a metaphor for how the tables have turned. he was the dominant figure for getting with the boyfriend's girlfriend, but now the boyfriend is beating the **** out of him. il admit thats, its a bit vague.
kitchen dustbowl again describes how fierce the fight was. then the lines: 'everything just coming through the windows, and half the street was under my nails' either describes the same again or, and this is my preferred theory, that everything coming through the window is actually him being thrown through it, hence he ends up with pavement under his nails. He later mentions the cars in the driveway too.
And the dead thing, I think that’s why Lucifer is mentioned. He says, I think ive kicked the bucket. Then everybody covers their mouths (in shock) and he thinks the body count is high because of the look on their faces, but their looking at him, a dead him.
Theres loads more, but I can’t write anymore. My writings bad enough!
Feel free to disagree.
LOVE this song! Favourite new album of the year, along with The XX, and Foals new one.
Oh, I loved your interpretation Jhilbley, it really makes sense!
English is not my first language, but I love English language and I always try to understand the words of a song, that is why I love when I find other people who also care about the importance of the lyrics.

I also agree with you about XX and Foals! They are my favorite in 2010. I am so glad that new bands still making me excited about music!
