| The Maccabees – O.A.V.I.P. Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
The start makes me think of an old-age relative that hasn't got over the death of her husband. Using his medicine box, and hoping her sorrow and woes will disappear soon, so she can die happy. "The slow depart: happening again" makes me think of Orlando trying to get to grips with the fact that his relative's going to die, after experiencing this with his grandfather or whoever it may be about. "The fun-size can you can expect, it only reflects her wants for you" - it's as if the fun-size drinks can is a metaphor for what she wants for Orlando. As long as he's happy, she doesn't mind if he doesn't have an extravagant life. All in all, it's a lovely little ode. |
