| Iron & Wine – Me and Lazarus Lyrics | 5 years ago |
|
From an interview at the time: I had this tune where I had this image of Lazarus on a motorcycle that didn’t mean anything [laughs] – or at least it didn’t mean enough. But then I had this other sort of Jamaican sounding thing that had a melody I liked. I had a bunch of friends during the Bush era that were like, ‘Fuck this shit let’s get out of here! I’m leaving! I’m going to Europe or Canada.’ They had it all figured out. And I remember feeling, ‘you know, you’ll always find some problem.’ I didn’t like what the administration was doing at the time either, but the idea of running away? And at the same time there was all these bank bailouts, and so it kind of all got stirred up in the soup of ‘Me and Lazarus’ who got a second chance. The narrator paling around with Lazarus. It doesn’t mean it’s, not a particular thesis on any particular point, it’s just a big… soup. |

@[katkillad:33328] Perhaps this line reflects the mother acknowledging her role in her son's life and here the son realizes what a powerful moment that was for her. |

I interpret some of the HB/SA songs to reflect on how the label screwed the Toadies over by rejecting Feeler. This song may be about how the band felt great after the success of Rubberneck, only to take it up the ass from the record label with their follow up. |

From Sam's Drowned In Sound interview: "You know, it’s the ultimate rationalization with God. Everybody thinks, “have I been good?” or “what do I deserve? Should I do this, or that?” and you have the mother in there, so there’s some form of guilt. And he compares himself to all these animals, which all carry a different connotation. At the end of the day it’s more about redemption, and whether he feels or deserves or needs to be redeemed. It’s enough of a storyline to hopefully hold people’s interest, but I’m not interested in showing what the guy’s done." |
