Lyric discussion by mytreacherousfriends 

I always assumed it was a sad song about a former lover. Especially after reading the lyrics (the part about the "lazy summer goddess" was hard for me to hear on my stupid laptop speakers) it seems like they're haunted by their lover's memory ("face stained in the ceiling", as in, you see their face staring at the ceiling at night). They're trying to dig up and kill the memories or feelings they had for this person, but you can't kill love (especially summer love? Or at least, I'm assuming it's a summer thing). So at the moment, they've found an escape or a way to not think about this person. But that's just what it means to me.
