Lyric discussion by Masonite 

I think the parental interpretation is probably right on. Especially given the first line, "You named me judge the day that I was born," referring to the Biblical judge named Deborah (Deb Talan)

@Masonite Yes, and interesting, though maybe not surprising that the other commenters missed it, entirely. It's ok that people interpret your songs according to their own life experiences- that's what makes them universally appealing- but, this song is devastating beyond any breakup song. I'm glad at least some people get that, because they're the ones whose hearts need this, yes?
