| The Tragically Hip – Ahead By A Century Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
For me, this song is about a man being nostalgic about the early part of his relationship. Now, however, he is no longer happy. His wife is consistently disappointed with him. The hornets represent the realities of life in the paradise dream of sitting in a tree. Reality produces regret and doubt and a want to get out. Not really sure what smoking the out is about. Not sure if he wants to clear the air (smoking out revenge and doubt), or he is realizing that they're headed for another fight (smoking the hornets out of the nest so they can be stung again). |

| The Tragically Hip – Chagrin Falls Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| This song is about a man who has an affair while travelling (most likely on business). It seems both parties may have been travelling to this place. He comes home to his marriage, feels he must tell his wife, and she leaves. He has regret (chagrin) come over him, slowly and steadily, like maddening droplets. | |
