Lewis' explanation:
"The end of a close relationship.
In my case, platonic, but others could relate to it as a romantic relationship.
That kind where by the time everything comes to a head, you've already let go of the situation and are done dealing with it. You've already moved on. You feel at peace, yet sad. Relieved, almost. In some ways, you wonder if it was something you did - or didn't - do. But in the end, retaining the relationship just isn't worth the effort.
As far as the filtered ending, it was supposed to be symbolic of an answering machine message. Sometimes it's just easier to say what you have to say in a song rather than a phone call."
