"Umbrella" introduces us to an old couple, as they are getting ready to pay a visit to their daughter. Everything about their daily routine seems unspectacular; they seem to kinda live in a contant argument situation, driven by their incompatible (?) personalities. When it is revealed that their daughter is dead and instead of seeing her they are just visiting the cemetery, everything is seen under a new light: their continuous soft clashes are a defending mechanism (just like an umbrella protects from the rain, they are protected from their darker thoughts and underlying pain), keeping them busy and alive. They are not drifting apart, they are together in this. And these clashes, in all their energetic liveliness, are what keeps them going.
