I'm a bit confused....to me, this seems like a very nostalgic song about two lovers separated and waiting to meet again at the St. Peter's Day Festival as they go through the ups and downs in life (The cusps and fjords we wade through/It all falls apart; Arms wide/But look, there comes a tide).
It all fits perfectly, but suddenly there's a reference to a mass murderer (Sawney Bean - thought it was a cute pet name until I looked it up), and the last line mentions a farce. What's the farce? Their relationship?
