===Meaning===
The song is about David Peet, a close friend of Grimes who taught and welcomed her to perform and make music in Lab Synthèse, an underground performance space he started while Claire was studying at McGill university.Comment under this YouTube video https://youtu.be/xOlJzNxsfqw?si=AbY71vUhBzTZ_j-G : "This song is about the suicide of Grimes close friend cDavid Peet, who died in 2008. They had planned to create a band together. Peet was one of the co-founders of "Lab Synthese", which is where Claire Boucher started to experiment in music under the name "Grimes"). David believed in her and her music. So when Peet passed Claire felt like she needed to move forward with the Grimes project, and she then signed with the record label Arbutus."
David commited suicide in 2008, which greatly saddened Grimes, and she took the decision to devote to music and to never release the song in honor of him.
