Lyric discussion by laurentehku 

john darnielle said tonight that this song is about torturing someone to death in norhern mexico and then having an existential crisis about it.

so, there's that. he also said it was his take on this extremely popular topic which appears all the time on the billboard charts.

Hi Lauren! You wouldn't happen to be the person I sang Dance Music with before the show in Boston?

His jam with Wurster at the end of the song was awesome in the original definition of the word.
