In this song, The National use a metaphor to compare a lover to a wasp nest. Wasps are known to be belligerent and aggressive as is the lover when she’s drunk. While the lover might be abusive in her drunken stupor, she’s beautiful and the narrator is still in love with her despite her faults.
Wasp Nest Lyrics
You're cussing a storm in a cocktail dress
Your mother wore when she was young
Red sun saint around your neck
A wet martini in a paper cup
You're a wasp nest
You're a wasp nest
Your eyes are broken bottles
And I'm afraid to ask
And all your wrath and cutting beauty
You're poison in the pretty glass
You're a wasp nest
You're a wasp nest
You're all humming live wires
Under your killing clothes
Get over here I wanna
Kiss your skinny throat
You're a wasp nest
You're a wasp nest
