Something about this song just destroys me in all the right ways. It’s almost masochistic to listen to. Forever one of my favourite songs (as well as Why I Like The Robins) because of the lyrical content, the sound and how it all comes together. It’s beautiful in all the ‘wrong’ ways, if that makes sense. I’ve had a particular attachment to this song ever since I first heard it (just so happens after a tumultuous relationship where I was severely in the wrong). I couldn’t exactly say why, I’m still not sure. To me, the song feels like the perfect bad ending to a relationship or connection with another person. It feels codependent, desperate, wanting, melancholic, tired, depressing, beautiful and yet there seems to be a kind of, “back and forth” in the song. The stance or direction of the song isn’t entirely one thing, it’s a few themes here and there, underlying or conscious. It’s open to interpretation, of course, as all of Hum’s songs are rather poetic.
