John Darnielle's own explanation (thank you, ABOAS) is probably the best I could ever have mustered and true to the spirit of it. Like with 'No Children' I get the sense of sharp, indignant bitterness. I feel possessed by exactly what Darnielle said, that disgust you get looking at a person with whom you were once happy and now you draws an utter revulsion. You want nothing more to stand up and when the next battle when treated to that disrespect.
