"An estate sale is something where you get rid of all the stuff that nobody has any use for anymore, but it's a whole lot of stuff. This song is about a couple of people who no longer have any use for a bunch of stuff that was once extraordinarily important to them in their lives. It's a very tragic situation, but at the same time, I sort of feel like they've earned this moment of darkness, like maybe it's sort of what they were working for, so why begrudge them that?"
