I didn't really get this one until I received and looked through the deluxe book edition of the album, but it's a "story within the story" song, depicting a mother struggling to keep it together after her family is mass murdered in a school shooting (the album's character is obsessed with collecting newspaper clippings of stories about people who just went missing unexplainably, this mother later becomes one of the "disappeared"). Such a sad but powerfully beautiful song . . .

@BigRed97 really?! Oh wow, I didn’t realise, that’s just so sad. One Stevens most crushing songs.
