It’s About Putting My Dog Down And Thinking Why Couldn’t We Just Have This Option When My Mom Was Dying? In Movies When Someone Dies They Just Close Their Eyes One Day And They’re Gone. But It’s Literally Weeks Of Someone In A Coma Pissing The Bed And Changing It. I Had To Make The Call To Give My Dog The Shots In The Same Way We’d Have To Give My Mom The Hydrocodone. Comparing Those Two Things Was Really Heavy.“

The subject of the song characterizes “Hell” as a place where you cannot have, see or feel the person you love; it’s a place where all your love cannot be reciprocated anymore.
This song might even serve has a companion piece to Psychopomp’s “In Heaven”, which, also bringing up the grief of losing her mother, deals with the concept of an afterlife. Interestingly, that song also mentions a confused dog who doesn’t understand the sudden change.
This might be the saddest song I’ve ever written. It’s a companion song to ‘In Heaven’ off of Psychopomp, because it’s about the same dog. But here, I’m putting that dog down. It was actually written in the Soft Sounds era as a bonus track for the Japanese release, but I never felt like it got its due.
