The National don't normally write their songs to a specific story. Even though every time I listen to one of their songs I get a very cinematic effect, I also get the sense that these songs are written line by line and that every line has a million meanings.

In interviews, Matt Berninger has said that he really doesn't know what a lot of it means until after it's all recorded and he listens to it. Then it seems obvious what the song is about "apparently".
