One way that I see this is that it's about how the band is a relationship that's lasted a long time, and every time they get up on stage they're doing what they love, a love affair that's gone on forever, and every time they make decisions they're taking risks of losing it, preparing to hang themselves with their own love of the thing if it doesn't work out, but it's a risk worth taking, and they keep doing it. And maybe sometimes it strays from that, becomes about something else, or the wonder of what it would be to give it up.
