Before playing this song, Darnielle prefaced it by saying it was about a person going insane. Not in the theatrical sense... but in the real way that he saw as a psychiatric nurse. Where someone just slowly loses touch with everything and can no longer handle daily life.
In this way, it's an introduction to the feeling on the album that follows losing someone.
