Such a hauntingly beautiful song.
I think it’s about hitting rock bottom, the total despair of the situation.
After listening to it what feels like hundreds of times, I think that the underlying meaning is the “great escape”; suicide. The ultimate escape.
“Gets in his car and drives away
Far from all the things that we are
Puts on a smile and breaths it in and breaths it out
He says bye-bye, bye to all of the noise” that is clearly about asphyxiating one’s self, again, escaping. It shows the raw emoting of the pain that makes escaping look like a positive. So sad.
