This song crept into the crevices of old wounds which have never quite healed. The Airborne Toxic Event captures Adult Angst in a way reminicent of The Church or The Cure during the late eighties.
The song in itself is no great riddle, as it speaks whats on its mind. The song's transparency does nothing to blunt its impact though. It is rare for lyrics so specific to cut so deep.
The man made the choice to allow the relationship to end, something he now regrets, and something for which the woman has never forgiven him. Now regret and guilt consume him, drawing him out into the night in the hope of finding the one he left behind, but full well knowing what that will cost. (she will break him in two)
Seeking out her favorite spaces from the past, a meeting inevitably occurs poeticaly just around midnight. She immediately takes note of his presence, for she too wears the scars of their past battles. Yet the war has not ended and she makes sure to twist the knife a final time as she exits the scene.
He is left hollow, clinging to the hopeless dream of returning to a relationship where the trust has been broken, and still he cannot stay away, for to let it die would mean abandoning the only thing he has left...his immense sadness over a love lost.
Given your screen name, I can see why you are drawn to this song. Why is it that songs of sadness and loss make the most sense? Perhaps, because love is an illusion that cannot sustain itself, invariably leaving those that enter its sphere with an eternal sense of longing and disappointment. Then again some illusions can endure a lifetime, which is a comforting notion.

Regardless, the bond between the two is quite real, so too the pain they inflict upon one another while trying to conceal their own wounds.
