Swan Dive Lyrics

Such a strange and compelling song. Lyrically, it's rather bleak, seemingly about two people whose alcoholism and depression means they can't be happy together or apart. but musically, the rhythm and chiming guitar creates an uplifting feeling of forward momentum. The net effect is like the bittersweet feeling of watching the scenery slide past on a long car journey, lost in your thoughts about the future, and the past.
