Wikipedia article
"'Hot Knives'" is the second single by the American indie/folk-rock band Bright Eyes, from their album 'Cassadaga'. The song was released on July 9, 2007, on a strictly-limited 7" double A-side record.
Conor Oberst, the band's frontman, allegedly said "Hot Knives is a song.. um, sort of about a woman that kind of discovers that her life is a sham and can't really exist in her reality any longer and has to transform completely into a new, uh, species. It sounds crazy, but it's not that crazy. It could happen to you, too" on the 'NME' Track-by-Track.
