The triumph of finding hope where there is no reason for any to exist.
I won't edit the lyrics because I'm not sure but doesn't Annie sing 'Find my severed crossed fingers in the rubble there'? Otherwise the song's title isn't alluded to in the lyrics.
PS you're also correct with the meaning. I just read in an interview with Annie Clark that this song was inspired by a line from a book she was reading. There was a plane crash and the character found a set of "severed crossed fingers in the rubble", to her a symbol of humanity's ability to retain hope even in the most utterly hopeless of situations.

I think you're right! I just listened to it and she definitely says severed. Also would make sense lol
