It starts first talking about feathers and I'm not sure but they either are hiding the drugs in feathers, or a drug is found in feathers. I think this song mostly talks about how you can go from having it all to being "drug farm entrepreneur." Seeing as it says "This isn't how we payed the bills before...

It's about a girl/woman who is in the midst of a drug farm and doesn't like it. I think she might be a prostitute??

I think that this is about a wife who's husband is a drug dealer. The way the song sounds it seems like it's set back in the period of the prohibition act where everyone was moonlighting. Her husband and her are hard on money and so he begins selling drugs and they are fighting about it. "this isn't how we payed the bills before Drug farm entrepreneur" They continue to fight over and over "Go spin in circles for me, wound relentlessly around the words we used to sling" But when he tells her to leave if she doesn't like it. She can't because she loves him and she's tortured by it. "Oh such torturous things always chewing up the only ones I ever mean, if you're going then go. It's a tragic love story because they started out the perfect couple hence the "halo in her hair" and the "feathers everywhere" which I think symbolize empty promises or the sweetness that was their relationship before. And now, she doesn't love what he's doing but she still loves him. That's what I think though. :D

Could 'feathers' mean money? xx

I think it's about the arguing and conflict before/during/after a break up.

Lying there with a halo in her hair she cried
there are feathers everywhere but it's fine
you do this all the time

A girl is losing (or pretending to lose) some kind of innocence. She was an angel, but now her halo has lost its hover and has fallen on her head and her wings are falling off. The Point Of View is sarcastic, saying she's just playing up her sorrow and just being over dramatic.

Crying now through a rusted smile she knows
this isn't how he paid the bills before
drug farm entrepreneur

The rusted smile sounds like she's been putting on a happy face, despite her sorrow, and it has rusted shut. I'm not sure about the bills and the entrepreneur part, but I think it might be about how things without him are harder than she thought they would be and she's self medicating with drugs or whatever because of it.

Go spin circles for me
Wound relentlessly
Around the words we used to sling
Oh, such torturous things
Always chewing up the only ones
I ever mean

The relationship is compared to a spinning top, wound up by the ripcord that symbolizes their arguments and is finally released. As for the next line, it's torturous to not say what you really feel or mean.

Watch love
Get strangled by a kite's cold strings
Fall comes early and summer leaves
As a storm with the car keys

I think it could be how their relationship is a kite that was restrained by the two people in it, not letting it be able to float around and be free. The happiness and freedom of summer is gone and fall, which could be considered the prelude to winter (bleak, cold, depressing), sets in. With the storm, the pain of the falling out is the lightning which strikes the kite and, like benjamin franklin with the key and the kite story, it shocks (hurts, causes pain to) the people holding it.

Spark your heels
Up against the picket fence I built
All your wishes they will sink like stones
Slowly down a well

The girl kicks at the emotional fence that the POV has built to keep her out. She wishes for them to be together again, but her wishes are wished in vain, for there is no one there to hear them.
It sounds to me like a kind of bitter song about someone that the POV has broken up with and wants nothing to do with again. It's not very uplifting but it's a nice song to listen to every once in a while. Gotta love that P(!)ATD :P
