Returning to this song on May 5, 2024. It rocks pretty hard, but the lyrics are quite opaque. It seems like musings on a personal event (apparently a breakup with an older man). But the words are so deliberately obscure that to any listener they are fairly nonsensical. It seems to have nothing to do with the Mexican holiday, except that (maybe) the breakup happened to occur on or near that calendar date? Maybe on this sophomore album Liz was exploring being artsy and opaque? Just enjoy the rocking beat and don't think too hard about this one.
