To me, it sounds like he can't stand losing Ana, the angel he couldn't kill, the girl he couldn't get. And he thinks that if he plays God and kills himself that he'll still get to be with her. She might have died or something..
Honestly, I got that impression quite easily, so I'm not sure why everyone's confused..
Can anyone tell me if "Oh Ana" is supposed to be an allusion to the Hawaiian word for family "ohana" and if that is part of the meaning of the song? I know that's probably really thinking outside the box, but I've studied poetry before, and there's been way weirder things than that going on in some writing, so I think it's plausible.
Its just because its indie, and not many people know about them, oh and their lyrics aren't retarded - you don't have to be a hipster to fall in love with this band, though it does add some hipster points to your running total. I should say though- you'd be a bigger hipster if you stopped liking them because you don't fit labels.
I love this song! I got the Touch Up CD for Christmas (I had only learned of Mother Mother in the Fall), and this song is such an important part of it.
If it isn't well known, that doesn't make it hipster music. I have heard hipster music.. And.. It's... Just.. No..

I always thought it was about anorexia as well. I used to suffer a lot with bulimia, and this song really got to me. :(

If you've had any experience with the disease you can really easily see how it would be about anorexia.
