“The Bug Collector” details a relationship plagued by fear. A song about a woman, helping someone, likely a boyfriend with their demons. The narrator wants to absolve her partner of this fear– by protecting them and isolating them from the anxiety they have about the world. The narrator removes this negative force from their home. The word “slugger” here seems to imply a certain indifference to this act, though this disposition changes as the song progresses.
