Another great one by Daughter!
This song draws such a beautiful parallel...
In my opinion this song is about being used and then tossed aside like garbage. The imagery the lyrics paint is stunning, the wayside garbage that she feels like after being used and then just left wondering how she let it happen... And yet she still loves him. Because for her it was real. He lied and deceived, used her for his own purposes and then moved on but she can't. She's stuck, like that garbage in the landfill, stagnate and waiting ...
In her own way she's fighting back. Telling him to wipe his eyes and walk away... but as he walks away she can't help but relive it all. Their electricity, their connection... and it's torture because she knows now that it wasn't real.
And yet she knows that it's so dangerous because a part of her still yearns for him. This small, still part of her, the one that clings to what she thought they had is still begging him to turn around and come back for her... even though the rest of her hates him.
