I don't know what this song means to me -- I just know I love it. I think it's about love -- how love comes after the thaw, love thaws, and love is like spring, AND it involves (mixing metaphors!) walking off planks, falling into oceans...getting in deep. Folly? Yeah. But as a friend said to me recently (on the subject of a fuck buddy): Fun. |

The song seems to describe that MOMENT when the judgment of others -- those who have rejected or used us -- is no longer the measure of our own judgment of ourselves. The 'wolves' (the chorus who sing 'awoo') mock gently the singer, accompanying him in the graveyard we could say, reminding him of his witch qualities, but concurrently disapproving of any notion that his reputation could be (or should be) saved (or bought). This is the work required of one who rejects a sexual morality based on the promise of marriage proposals and the like ('holding it [sex] hostage'): those who reject that education must forge, perhaps, a (new?) way to get a handle on rejection. Outside of mainstream (sexual) morality, they must work for their own. Fortunately, there are others (the wolves) who through singing along remind us that we have both chosen to 'resist the education' of mainstream sexual morality, even as they perhaps teach again the lesson as to why we should reject that morality. |

I LOVE this song. It describes so perfectly the nervousness of being a part of a mass, privy and a part of its mass psychology. Wanting to be a part of the crowd, knowing that violence can result (to the self, to the world) while also not being sure you want to participate.... 'tis a sugar rush baby. |

I think it is about being trapped in cliches and wanting out -- wanting a new melody and a new language. why? to talk, to address the silence that kills all relationships, including the relationship we have with ourselves. It seems like there are two relationships being sung about: the singer's relationship to himself (and his craft), and second, his relationship with a significant other. The song seems to suggest that, trapped in cliches, making new tunes and keeping old ones from dying is itself something to sing against....and don't you think the way JG sings in this song expresses that? i think it's a great song too. |
