“I look through the windows of this love Even though we boarded them up Chandelier's still flickering here”
Angela & Uncle Jerry discuss the extended metaphor of the boarded-up house with a flickering chandelier. Uncle Jerry connects this imagery to Miss Havisham's house in Dickens' Great Expectations, the old house where she is still mourning her wedding. The parallel is the image of love somehow still trapped and flickering inside a decaying, sealed-up space.
