The Antlers – Rolled Together

  General Comment:and, i think since they're rolled together (as you can roll paper together), the ending of the relationship will be mutually destructive for both of them.
  
  and "bursting apart" rather than fading apart or tearing apart seems like a pretty violent way to put it. so the relationship probably ends as suddenly and overwhelmingly as it started.

  General Comment:i think "burning paper heart" means that the relationship was over from the beginning, regardless of how intense or passionate it was.
  
  just a burning heart would signify the intensity. but since the heart is made of paper, it's inevitable that after time the intensity of the relationship will be what in fact ends it.

  General Comment:Something that came together quickly and passionately ("with a burning paper heart") but without sustainability and has reached the limit of its capacity to stay together ("about to bust apart").

  General Comment:I can't tell but it might be "rolled together with a burning paper heart." Either way it doesn't seem to matter much. I really like this song. I think it's my favorite off the new record. The loop that plays throughout is completely hypnotic.

    Yeah, I think hypnotic is the way to describe this song. He repeats the lyric almost like a mantra. The backing music also plays up this aspect.
