The lyrics of Heavy Heavy Low Low's Tragic Tragic Track Jacket talk about the inevitability of destruction that stems from a faulty foundation. The words describe the breakdown of the "architecture," an allusion to the singer's life, and the lies that cause it to collapse. Despite this, people dismiss it as a trend or phase, ignoring the realism of the situation, until it's too late. The singer's hopeful line, "in the time it takes to make things right, we'll make new memories," suggests that they will overcome this tragedy and move on, leaving the past behind, but the bitterness of losing the only meaning in their life will linger on.
