this is definitely about Laura and Heather's relationship falling apart. (especially "it was a nice dream/ but it was a naive fucking fantasy") Laura talks about it in the last chapter of her book. there's even lines from the book that parallel this song; "felt like our marriage was burning up with them, like we were smoking it down to the last match" and "it was an optimistic lie, there was nothing left to save"
@soft110467 I think it's also about betrayals of a sort in general, more specifically when the punk/anarcho-punk community turned their backs on the band, and fans/other people who turned their backs or didn't support her coming out as trans.

She doesn't seem to be particularly bitter about any of it, including the divorce, not anymore at least. I think this is more an expression of anger at 15-20 years of shit in general, with marriage being more recent, thus more prominent.
