The band Emery said this album is supposed to be the most spiritually themed of all of them, but I don't know if that includes this song.
This song seems rather relationship themed (especially from lines like "But your lipstick and cheap skirts"), like a lot of Emery's previous stuff (A Sin to Hold On To, Don't Bore Us Get to the Chorus, ect.). After that I draw a blank.
