    I can relate a lot to this song by picking any day of my life in my senior year. I was dating this guy for sometime and I had crucially violated the trust my parents and I had with each other, we judge each others every move and completely argued against every opinion thrown out in discussion. It was as though they didn't want me to grow or to pursue my own dreams or look things through my perception. As I turned to my own path and stopped looking at them directly in the face, I felt as though I rejected them both. I think when they kicked me out my own house, they wanted to watch me come back to them. While out on my own, I felt independent, and always looking towards the future, always thinking that there was something along the road for me and this guy. But in reality, my parents who pampered me and raised me well all my life and how it just ends completely with this one guy, it really changed things for me. All throwing it away for a fantasy that would never come true, it obviously meant a lot that they'd kick me out. They want to see me dance back to them and turn everything around by myself. It was the only other option they had really. I love that song by Animal Collective. That's all I can think of. And its not a disappointly embarrassing feeling. It's a feeling of relief and reminds me not to make the decision to dedicate everything to one person. It's dangerous while you're in love and young. It can lead to a unproperly lit path..keep the candles as they lie..I love that song.
