Cover art for She Ionizes and Atomizes lyrics by Modest Mouse

i think its a love song but the person is feeling empty about the relationship

Reading these replies, I realized that there are not any people who are chemists or physicists. I know a bit about ionic and covalent bonds from college biology..

An ionic bond is when one atom, rather than sharing an electron, completely donates an electron to another forming a strong bond between two nuclei, creating an ion.

"She ionizes and atomizes" Makes me think that the couple forms, and she leaves him. "then turns to sunlight" could either mean that Brock is either realizing she's the sunlight or "the one" as soon as she leaves. Or that she turns to her own...
