Discover the story of the song > PIERCED ARROWS – Hurray for the Riff Raff

The protagonist is trying to avoid her ex while walking on Broadway, feeling lonely and unnoticed. She describes the world as changing and not believing in anything. She keeps running and ducking her head to avoid something, maybe trying to escape her problems. The chorus talks about pierced arrows falling from the sky that can't hide from turpentine, maybe symbolizing the pain that can't be avoided and the need to face it.
