I think just about every interpretation of this song is pretty accurate but I'd like to entertain the idea that perhaps, the first 2 segments of this song are directly connected and not a reminecent view of different chunks of one man's life. There isn't really anything to support this, it's just the vibe that I get. It seem to be more about the growth of this man. Perhaps, the lover which he protects in the second segment is the same he falls in love with in the first. Maybe, his experiences in the war (soldier at a concentration camp) have caused his protective tendencies in the second, also his desire for love (even though he eventually realizes he and his lover are not really..."right" for each other). |

Favorite wolf parade song. :) I always hear..."we can sing through cracks in the crossbeams", however. |

This could be a longshot but.... I was recently listening to this song and the last line struck me, in particular. It reminded me of the book "Immortality" by Milan Kundera...I think it could possibly be a reference to it. In the novel there are multiple instences where the importance of gestures...particularly someone waving goodbye...is discussed, in- depth. I think this has some plausible support, considering the Bright Eyes song "Tereza and Tomas" is written directly about the novel "The Unbearable Lightness of Being", also written by Milan Kundera. |
