Venn Diagram Lyrics

Cover art for Venn Diagram lyrics by Lisa Hannigan

This song is beautifully haunting. It's all love and perfection until the last two lines...Lisa's singing changes dramatically.

"I'll be gone an hour at most, you will be more diagonal [...]" To me it's refering to that position you take when you sleep alone, or when you "get your bed back". Basically, not missing who was by your side.

"I've a head on me in the post, I know, a castle swallowed in the swell." She was not fooled by him, she was aware of the situation very well. She knew the castle (that night/moment) would be washed away by the swell...

She might bring back some sandwiches, but probably she'll leave before he wakes up.
