It bothers me how everybody is so stuck on the abortion part of this song. If most people had the brains to look at any of the interviews he did for the album he says that the first verse is about an abortion a friend had. He gets most of his song ideas from the people around him. The whole song isnt about abortion. It's like most people just like the song bc they believe its all about such a taboo subject. People ruin shit by over analyzing. Its a beautiful song regardless of the meaning.

Both pregnancy and abortion are the products of unchecked passion, and often unwanted products thereof. I think the singer of this song feels pain and guilt: to a certain extent, he is responsible for the thing which has destroyed his beloved, and neither of them is able to move past the pain of abortion to a place where they could be together again.

From a medieval love poem by Walther von der Vogelweide: "Under the Tilia tree on the open field, where we two had our bed, you still can see lovely both broken flowers and grass." (TIlia = lime tree.)
In much romantic medieval literature, there's a theme of love as being a tool of destruction, even to the beloved. In "the Romance of the Rose," the protagonist tears apart the rose that he desires through his indelicate zealousness to know it and possess it...

@Ryushihotshot I think you're in denial. It's definitely about abortion.

Its actually about a miscarriage, not an abortion, abortion requires choice. Regardless it an still be applied to abortion.

"Don't be so amazing or I'll miss you too much." I get tears at this.

Knowing that Bright Eyes only has one more album coming out, and then they're retiring absolutely breaks my heart. They've been a huge part of the past 6 years of my life, and even though their music is always going to be there, it feels like they're dying.
