This song resonates with me on such a profound level, something which Florence's songs do often haha. So bear with me here- I think this song on the surface is about a lost relationship, but on a deeper level I think this song is about society, and Florence 'opening' her eyes in a sense. "Another conversation with no destination, Another battle never won, And each side is a loser, So who cares who fired the gun?" almost sounds like it's referring to the trivial affairs and trials of a materialistic society. People bickering and
being egotistical is commonplace in an ignorant society, and Florence is calling it out. And she's learning these things, so naturally, she's leaving. Which will force her to withdrawn from the trivial experiences of life, which causes her to grieve, but she feels she must find the true meaning of life. I could keep going, but I've already written a ton. Just a thought to ponder :)
