• Kevin from Philadelphia, Pauhhh...in an interview with AOL Session Acoustic, Nate said that the song is about someone writing a letter from hell. He then said he loves Radiohead (They covered Radiohead's Karma Police during the session) because they keep their lyrics vague. So who knows what the hell Nate is writing about. I just want Finch back.here is the interview where he says ithttp://music.aol.com/video/exclusive-interview/finch/1101368here is karma police (acoustic radiohead cover)http://music.aol.com/video/karma-police-aol-sessions/finch/1101367ender (acoustic)http://music.aol.com/video/ender-aol-sessions/finch/1101366what it is to burn (acoustic)http://music.aol.com/video/what-it-is-to-burn-aol-sessions/finch/1101370
• Megan from Newcastle, OkFinch is my absolute favorite band. I've been listening to them for YEARS now. And I completely relate to this song. Not in this moment of time. But Ihave been there before. Sometimes pain is all that you can feel.
• Chris from Bolton, EnglandLove the idea that it's a song from hell, but i see it as a guy who is in a bad relationship but can't leave his lover because she's the only one who makes him feel alive - through pain
