Sufjan Stevens – The Predatory Wasp of the Palisades Is Out to Get Us! Lyrics 19 years ago
how can you say this song is about a boy running away because his best friend kissed him. the boy ran away before he even mentions the word kiss. i think the wasp is the teasing and the tension. at first, he just sees it on the wall, not bothering anybosy but its still there. Kind of like the teasing isn't bothering anyone. finally, the wasp stings, meaning someone was hurt by the teasing. Eventually, he apoligizes, which is what i think the kiss means. nothing more than a friendly "i'm sorry" ok, so the wasp is still on his arm, meaning he has to be careful that he, or the wasp, doesn't hurt anyone again.
