Please don't tell me that The National are writing songs about the fucking economic downturn. I hope it's about love. Jesus.

song is about love i guess,
but you should also be aware of other elements of inspiration inside these lyrics.

for example "half awake in a fake empire", which is for me one of most amazing lines written nowadays, has a lot common with Plato's cave allegory, and fake economic and moral system we live in...
