"The album this song is on is a story about the loss of a person's mother and how he has such a difficult time dealing with it. It also get's into the sorrow of his father at her loss and how the tragedy tears them apart. An incredibly sad album, but still my favorite from this wonderful band."
The two round shouldered figures in the song are the father and son. They are struggling mightily with her loss and the guilt they feel could be for all the things they left unsaid to her or for the fact that they are barely able to function now that she is gone.
