'Lying there With a halo in her hair she cried There are feathers everywhere But it's fine You do this all the time'

Obviously, her lover is doing something or seeing someone and she has repeatedly told him to stop. Having given up on trying to change it, she just sits there and cries about it, and he does it all the time.

'Crying now Through a rusted smile she knows This isn't how he paid the bills before Drug farm entrepreneur'

The thing he's doing could possibly be gambling, and he's making money from it. She still cries from it, and she tries to hide her tears from him behind a fake or 'rusted' smile.

'Go spin circles for me Wound relentlessly Around the words we used to sling Oh, such torturous things Always chewing up the only ones I ever mean'

They used to talk a lot, and tell each other things, but now they are both hiding things from each other, putting stress on the relationship, but she would still do whatever he asked (like spinning circles). Also, his lies are making the meaning of his honesty meaningless.

'If you're goin' then go Go go go If you're goin' then go Go go go'

If he's going to leave her, she just wants him to do it and get it over with, rather than dragging it out.

'Watch love Get strangled by a kite's cold strings Fall comes early and summer leaves As a storm with the car keys'

The romance between the two is slowly falling apart, leaving 'early'.

'Spark your heels Up against the picket fence I built All your wishes they will sink like stones Slowly down a lonely well'

All the hopes and wishes she had for the relationship are becoming less and less probable, 'sinking', if you will.

Song Meaning

Interesting. Here's an analogy. Sometimes I use this site for purely musical reasons...interpreting lyrics, adding bios (cause i love to write and I love music), adding lyrics (because I respect the musician and his craft). Sometimes I come here because I'm excited about a song I just heard or the artist behind it, and I crave commenting. Sometimes I'm here to help improve the site in some little way (because I love music and want others to enjoy it using great lyrics site). And let's be honest....somtimes I come to stick it to someone...to say here I am;...
