I love the lyrics. Dido sings, but Pete has a rap that sums up my own feelings about being stuck in my parents' drama.
Dido's father passed away semi-recently (around the time I lost my own father) and her albums around that time was very therapeutic for me. I can sense her (and Pete's) own stuck ties to family garbage in this song. It's nice to have something to relate to. Tried to run away from the drama, but it catches up to you. You end up echoing the past and have to face it. And it is such a surprise... because you thought you were doing the right thing... just move on and get away — do your own thing. But it seems you're not allowed to try to just wipe it away. So sad and scary!
