http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxqZKIkmN8o after reading all of these interpretations i was curious if that band had an interview of their meaning.. here it is. basically, not so much about an actual family, but giving the listener to take it how they want.. also it was clear that a lot was taken out of the song and they had lost what it was even about.. when ever ive written (songs,journaling,stream of consciousness thats supposed to 'fit' together), random things unrelated seem to pop in all the time, they fit with the feel of what im writing, but later i realize i was jumping around a bit. it was never about one subject.. seems like this song turned into that for the band, then they edited it, and we have what they felt was important. |

agree. mother earth being the mother, not about siblings, or the mother being music and talking about switching bands like she did, or how it could just symbolize parts of her self. those seem more interesting lyrics. but like the vocalist from MN said, the interpretation can show more about the person interpreting then the person who wrote it ;) its def interesting to see how different people relate to the same lyrics that are, in a way, pretty vague. open for 5 or 6 interpretations. i also like your interpretation because the song feels more like a song to the human race, anyone shes met, people or lovers shes been close to, parts of her self.. .. just seem more broad.. something about it all doesnt seem as simple as siblings .(im not dissing anyones personal identifying with the song for siblings) the other reason i dont see it obviously about siblings, is the main character is a distrauht looking, wondering woman, clearly full of emotions. her expressions and how they match up to lyrics.. i identify with it inside of myself, more than i would about me and my sister who will probably never see eye to eye and have a strained relationship, and yes also been cutting cords and deciding how to love her and respect her, and keep our distance.(im saying YES i relate to the sibling thing going on others express) |

agree. it could be about siblings but when this song was sent to me and saw just the title, nothing about siblings crossed through my mind, but, how similar my fiance's mother is to me ran through my head and how he loves and HATES it how we are alike. hes also visiting her, and their relationship like ours has been strained. with the lyrics, i took it more about me and him, he listens to lyics. not always sending me songs for me to dissect the words as a WHOLE MESSEGE, but, he always relates and i dont see this being about him and his brother. crossed through my mind while listening, but no. the mother earth idea, and this being two sides of herself seem more accurate. maybe it just makes for a better song for me with those interpretations tho ;) |

It reminds me of my situtuation (maybe thats cause its easy to see things that remind you of what intense thing you're going through, but anyway). Its obviously a couple thats in some sort of disagreement and it seems like at first he's saying yea I was wrong, just forgive me, lay your head down its all okay.. then realizing that its not working and saying we both need to do whatever is good for us and its not being together, that the drama will ultimatly never end because of who we are together. They're still fighting and she's pointing out all of his wrongs and hes saying yea things have been crappy, but we're still going our separate ways and at this point theres not point in dwelling on the thing in this moment that makes you mad and putting me down for it, all of our disatifactions with each other and me are all bluring into one big feeling, LA, New York it's all the same, all of our arguments have been different in ways, but mostly they're all the same bullshit, showing us we don't work and need to just move on. or it could be how when stuff is going wrong you try to assure the person its fine and really you guys both want everything you can get out of an argument, walking away feeling like you have the upper hand, more of a bitter feeling, like yea i fucked up, i don't want to hear it because i'm sticking to what i think is right and all your bitching and nit picking is all the same to me, wrong. |
