Thanks for the groundwork ably laid down by Mr. Grimmer. Let me now expand.
This song explodes the myth of "period." People often think that artifacts and culture are an important part of a love relationship; that the songs and sounds and images of your culture form a supportive backdrop for the drama of romance. Well, this song describes a scenario where "period" fails to compensate for a lack of love. Or, another way of putting it; that people can fall for this, but then find out the hard way that this is not a foundation for a real relationship. They find this out when the cultural landscape changes; when the accoutrements they valued become passe, particularly in their own hearts. A good cautionary tale!
