When I first heard "in remote part" i was almost moved to tears the lyrics are stunning,
"We stop in every passing place
To watch the world move faster than we do
Watch it pass with our eyes closed the way we usually choose to"
thse lyrics are the best ive heard in a long time, sums up the avoidence people use to just blank out what is going on in the world, its always so much easier to just let things pass you by rather than trying to intervene or change them. People are always taking any opportuinity to avoid life and what it demands, wheter this is in a relationship or otherwise, in the song i think roddy is specifically refering to the way that this happens in a relationship, that issues are never confronted, people just chose to let things drift.
