That song sorta penetrated into my subconscious. I didn't notice it when I played it the first couple of times, but later, while driving or somewhere else, the tune just starts randomly playing in my mind. Haunting.

Not completely sure what it means though. Is it about a girl cheating on him?

Or maybe it's just about her being disattached from him emotionally?
