I think this song is about dealing with grief or intense loss. The subject has gone away for a retreat to gather themselves, but all they found was cold and disappointing people, and instead of comfort in isolation have become existentially depressed and feel like ending it. A normal human emotion most people will go through at some point in their lives. A beautiful song, I find it comforting. I was shocked when I heard it. Loved it so much I learnt to play it on guitar.

ok this song is part of the album the wall to fully understand this song u first must understand the album and watch the movie it helps. in the movie pink sits locked in a hotel room, somewher in La. too many shows to much dope, too much applause: a burned out case. on the tv, an all too familiar war film flickers on the screen. we shuffle time and place, reality and nightmare as we venture into pink's painful memories, each one a "brick" in the waill he has gradually built around his feelings. Slowly he withdraws from...

The ‘secret garden’ is our own inner self, our deepest desires, fears, or truths. the desire for connection with others mirrors the desire to know ourselves fully, yet some parts will always remain elusive. It can never be pinned down because everything else (thoughts, memories, desires) is already a reflection or a distortion; we’re always chasing something that’s simultaneously within us and beyond us. Our inner sense of incompleteness always leads us to seek love, understanding, and intimacy, but the ultimate “truth” or “core”, whether in another person or ourselves, is never fully grasped. And the melancholy comes from realizing...

You fools. In this song, DCFC is simply and literally worrying about the megathrust earthquake which the Cascadia Subduction Zone is due to produce. The CSZ is a long fault line along the west coast, stretching from British Columbia past WA, OR, and northern CA. DCFC, if you were unaware, are Seattle natives. The CSZ ruptures at regular intervals, approx 280-350 years. The last rupture was Jan. 26th 1700, so it is due - in fact, overdue going by intervals from the past 4000 years.

After a failed 20 yr marriage (knew her for 3 weeks before she got pregnant), I met the love of my life. A gift from God. I finally found everything I was looking for, but she had baggage that I couldn’t get past. I also had some. I truly loved her. We got engaged. I was never happier. In the end she was in love with not who I am but who she wanted me to be. To become that I would have lost my identity. Maybe if I found the right words, I could have held on to...
