| The Decemberists – Hurdles Even Here Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| It starts out with him being in his mother's womb "started in your ovaries" "our bones entwined". It then seems that the child loses his parents at the age of 9 (the imagery of standing the tony lama cowboy boots enforces the idea of a young child dressed like a cowboy) and, even has he grew up, was unable to get over it, and so appeals to his dead parents, saying that even though he said he would be alright, he lied, and that he isn't alright, even though it's many years later. Sad song. | |
