This is a song about when you run across something in your house that belongs to a different version of you that you thought you had upgraded all software on. And you say to yourself, “Wait, that’s me 1.8. What the fuck is that, Beth? Me 1.8 doesn’t even run on this machine anymore. I can’t…I gotta run a sort of an emulator to make Me 1.8 run on this machine, and I don’t want to run that emulator.” But the thing that you find causes you to run that emulator and live for an afternoon in the You 1.8 that you were hoping not to have to run on the machine—‘cause it’s gonna fuck up the machine. What will you do? There’s nobody you can take the machine to. This is called Half Dead.
