| The Antlers – Bear Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
this song can easily be seen as about abortion, but i don't think that's completely true. as others have said, this album is mostly about a person having cancer, why would the album just take a dramatic shift in one song and then never adress the issue again? it's probably more of a REFERENCE to abortion. like a simile, with this illness being closely related to how you would feel in an instance of abortion, especially since nowhere in this song does it specifically state that she's pregnant. also, i really don't like it being about abortion. i like how the album follows a psedo-storyline and when one of the songs digress into another story it bothers me and takes the whole meaning of the album out. however, i respect that people think it's about abortion since the references are pretty clear. but i think it can also be easily taken into a more universal context, which is just how i like to look at it. neither way is right. |

| A Silver Mt. Zion – Mountains Made of Steam Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
A small green valley where a slow stream runs And leaves long strands of silver on the bright Grass; from the mountaintop stream the sun's Rays; they fill the hollow full of light. A soldier, very young, lies open-mouthed, A pillow made of ferns beneath his head, Asleep; stretched in the heavy undergrowth, Pale in his warm, green, sun-soaked bed. His feet among the flowers, he sleeps. His smile Is like an infant's - gentle, without guile. Ah, Nature, keep him warm; he may catch cold. The humming insects don't disturb his rest; He sleeps in sunlight, one hand on his breast, At peace. In his side there are two red holes. i probably could have found that online, but i felt it right to type it from my Rimbaud book. thank you for pointing that out, i knew these lyrics reminded me of something but i couldn't think of it. |
