"I guess they really got the best of us, didn't they. They said the love was enough, but it wasn't. The earth shattered, the sky opened, the rain was fire but we were wooden"

OK wait if she's talking about a guy & she's there for the birth of his baby does that shes giving birth or she's the other woman? That lyric confuses me

 

I took that more to mean that she's celebrating with a close friend either at a baby shower or after said friend gave birth and the dude left her that same day. Like.. the song does focus on a dude quite a bit but it seems to be more of a general reflection on her life than anything else.

That's a good theory. I was also thinking its about bittersweet life of being w/ a man. She expresses how for every good thing there's a bad thing, how she's going down with fine China, for its so fragile but affluent, having good clothing but stealing them, how for every birth there's a death etc. As you stated, it does seem like a song about the t

relfection of life.

This would match the overall Ultraviolence theme. Love this theory

"When I hear something like this, though, I tend to file it away, and keep my ears open. Sure enough, in early November of this year, I was doing a workshop as part of a new public folklore program being developed on the Baccalieu Trail. Much to my delight, Linda Kane of Cupids had heard of the old belief as well. She, too, had heard that a pregnant woman seeing a white horse would mean trouble in childbirth.

 

“White horses are often thought to be harbingers of ill fortune,” writes David Pickering in the Cassell Dictionary of Superstitions. In fact, white horses seem to crop up a lot in folklore. In Lincolnshire, England, it was believed that if you saw a white dog, you should stay silent until you saw a white horse. In other places, dreaming of a white horse meant a coming death, and in the New Testament, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse rides astride a white horse."
