I heard this song shorty after I experienced a death so I really related to this. Alot of lines in here remind me of what you think after you experience someone in your life close to you dieing for instance:
"they're these sweet rotting memories
that keep you alive"
"throw me a moment
just to get my composure
and to stamp on a fly"
"and everybody was laughing at you
singing 'isn't it, isn't it, isn't it
such a funny old world
the way tragedy strikes?'" I think this part is about how after someone passes away it the people that didnt know that person go back to they're lives like everything's normal while your still affected.
"that long drive home
nothing much ever after
nothing hurts more than laughter
man, i wish you could be here" This is one of the strongest indications for me of what this song is about..- I can't even begin to explain why these particular lines are relevant.
The way this song is layed out also is a big big pointer..It starts out slow and then it gets fast and beautifully overwhelming..(of course in real life you subtract the beautiful part)
