| Fleet Foxes – Mykonos Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Mykonos is one of the most popular Greek island resorts for summer vacations. For that matter note the references to winter/snow. The runaway person is going through bad phases, mainly phases of winter affecting him. The meadow turning brown by the winter (drugs) signifies the nadir of effects and a near death experience. So the person is leaving for a promise of summer. Hoping for a gentle (without waves) coast and a bright sun to clear the shadows of his mess (the effects of his previous lifestyle). Now I can't tell if Mykonos signifies a positive place like a rehab or the person switching back to drug usage to find this summer. Regardless, the words "vision" and "maybe" in the chorus show uncertainty that he will find what he's looking for. Either due to the temporary nature of drugs usage or due to addiction and lack of real friends. |
