Cover art for The Mourning, The Silver, The Bell lyrics by Timothy Seth Avett As Darling

This song is tough to read. I think seth is dealing with a breakup and his mind is all over the place("I could love her, I could kill her").

So this song just kind of paints a picture of how messed up his mind is after this break up ("The grass is orange and the sky is green"). He's stuck between hoping it goes back to the way it was and moving on.
