Month of May Lyrics

Cover art for Month of May lyrics by Arcade Fire

This song is about a Suicide. In psychiatry the "Month of "May" is commonly known to have a significantly higher rate of completed suicides than any other month. The most obvious line in the song supporting this is "Month of May everybody's in love, then the city was hit from above". To me this describes a town being emotionally shook from someone jumping off a building to their death.
