Named after a form of divination based around the works of the poet Virgil, “Virgilian Lots” focuses on singer/lyricist Kevin Barnes' separation from his wife, who had been his partner for over a decade.
As stated by Barnes in an interview with Stereogum:
My wife and I separated in December [2013]...
Virgilian Lots Lyrics
The pigs are taking shots at the mourners on the hill
I'm truly not neutral but I lost all direction
Day I woke ready to blow the bridge
For finding you hand over your mouth
So instead, I burned my own village down
[Refrain]
I'm grieving for you, my love
And I don't understand what's going on
Just as the twin volcanoes of Cuauhnāhuac, we were once stable
So sad I must bury every thought of you before it shows its teeth
Now I amuse myself with the dubious form of Virgilian Lots
Like your neo-feminist divinations
[Refrain]
Our memories, once almost sacred, are embarrassments to me now
Of the three things I find most shocking, the first is how trivial you are
The second is my depth of feeling; third, the purity of our collapse
[Refrain]
