| Marcy Playground – A Cloak of Elvenkind Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
He may have used D&D symbolism because thats what was familiar to him, but the song is very likely not actually about D&D. A cloak of elvenkind is a cloak that can mask you from everything, making you invisible. Its also quite likely that he's not actually referring to his mother either, but using his mother to symbolize something like proper conformist behaviour. This song could be interpreted as someone who is shy, but acts in a way they think would offend or be contrary to popular attitude. The "cloak" is his way of hiding that behaviour and feeling safe. |
