- inspired by the studio album Sable, Fable by Bon Iver
- a sable is the name for a small, carnivorous mammal in the weasel family from russia/siberia!
- in terms of bon iver specifically, justin vernon said in an interview: "Sable. Mourning. Deepest black. Also, place name. But what is it? For me, I think when I’m speaking that line, what it refers to is being the darkness. There have been times in my career where it has felt like I’m repeating a cycle of heartache. I was getting a lot of positive feedback for being heartbroken."
- from reddit: "Menin referred to this as "pressing the bruise". Immanuel Levinas referred to this type of behavior as 'staying in the dark"
