This seems to be about someone who is very dissatisfied with their relationships. "Oh you really still expect me to believe every single letter I receive? Sorry you, what a shameful situation" understandably, they're being wary and not too trusting.

And...like other people said, it kind of sounds like they're killing them. The eeriness in the music, "My sense of hesitation disappears", "Sending shivers up and down my spine", "So I return them to the sender", "I like to read murder mystery, I like to know the killer isn't me" make it sound like that.

I'm glad this song was rejected and not used in Dick Tracy, or else it wouldn't be in the Chorus album and I wouldn't be able to listen to it on Spotify and would have to resort to YouTube everytime, just like I do with Looking Glass Sea.
