obviously the sequel to "china white". i'm not exactly sure, but there are some obvious correlations between the two songs:
china white - "i can't wait to sleep in late"
china white II - "with your father gone and your mom in chains, i have time to sleep in late"
china white - "you'd better get your gun"
china white II - "your daddy should've brought his gun"
if i were to take a stab at it.... the first one i feel is more of a revenge piece, from the point of view of the gardener. this one is initially from the point of view of the little girl and the mother, and then back to the gardener. perhaps something to do with slavery, since HIL is from NC. obviously in this one, he's killed their father, "i hear the flowers as they speak below" and imprisoned the mother, and plans to kill the young girl as well. "when you wake you will grow at my feet". i particularly enjoy the imagery these lyrics portray, especially the line "the man with the roses that grow from his hands". this song is very sinister, and that line portrays a very dark, almost supernatural villian figure. but then again... i could be all wrong about this whole thing, haha, it is open to interpretation.
