Been listening since downtown battle mountain 1. I'm 24 now, and even though I stopped listening to hardcore and post hardcore for the most part. I always stuck with Dance Gavin Dance because of how versatile their sound is. Never thought something off their latest album would be my favorite song from them ever. Shame Tides of man dissipated, but DGD couldn't have picked up a better replacement. I still listen to Dream house.
Part 1: morning after a one night stand
Part 2: the two talk it out, he realizes she already has a significant other, he reluctantly accepts that
Part 3: He's still in love with the girl, his friends try to talk him out of it (Got a box of lies, gonna get you high, with the words of wisdom that you need to hear)
Death of: The guy is tired of having this girl stuck in his head, so he tries to pursue something with her despite the other guy in her life
That's how I interpret the series. Maybe that's just me because I can relate to that.
