Seems to be about secrets of one's past - skeletons in the closet.
Talks about "vetting" the process of checking out someone's background, knowing about their past.
I think La Grange refers to town in Texas with a nearby whorehouse (on which the film "Best LIttle Whorehouse in Texas" is bassed).
The one line that really sticks out to me is "pennant tension ring" because it sounds so much like "penitentiary" which fits in really well with "strangers scattering" "passage in the wind" and the whole concept of a dirty past and not being judged for it "armor down... not to vet it". "Pennant tension ring" is the official lyric, but I wouldn't put it past Justin to make a play on the sound of the word, rather than the meaning. Or not - maybe the whole things about a musical. Haha!
