I always heard the Johnny Flynn reference, but didn't hear him say "Johnny Flynn". Quite surprising considering how different they sound.

Although, I'm not entirely sure what this song is actually about, it's still good. Possibly about a girl who's at a loss, and her partner isn't there to hold her together, maybe she's considering suicide?

"From Mathilda" a quote from the film 'Leon' - I won't put a spoiler up, but if you haven't already you should watch it!

Um, No............ This song is a cinematic reference to "Leon/The Professional".

Watch the film, and then everything will be illuminated.
