Cover art for Home lyrics by Neutral Milk Hotel

Rose Wallace Goldaline was abused at home, which is why "home" is "just another word she'll always push away". Going off other songs, such as "Oh Sister" and "Oh Comely" and probably many more, I'm guessing she was someone who lived with the narrator as a sister, maybe a stepsister. And he loves her, and he's threatening to take revenge on the ones who hurt her.

I wonder if "sightings" should be "sidings".
