SwallowTail Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I had the impression it is about loss - loss of relationship, loss of a loved one to death, maybe both...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlett Posted November 2, 2012 Author Share Posted November 2, 2012 I had the impression it is about loss - loss of relationship, loss of a loved one to death, maybe both...?

Mekanamom Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Speaking with Interview Magazine, Hilmarsdóttir explained the song's meaning: "How we usually make our lyrics is, Raggi and I, sometimes we come up with stories or situations. That one is about a relationship. Sometimes we haven't wanted to give too much away. We like people to read their own things in the lyrics. I guess I could share it. It's about a couple and the husband passed away and it's from the conversation between the two of them. We don't know if she's going crazy or if someone's actually there. We've kind of been inspired by people that lived in my house. This old couple that lived there for 30 years. The woman passed away, so it was kind of different." (I'm glad you asked, because I always thought it might be about schizophrenia or multiple personality disorder, lol.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe people visit us once they are dead, but I've had plenty of 'conversations' in my head with absent/dead people so I 'get' that.
