| Midlake – Chasing After Deer Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I think this song has a much simpler meaning.. The lyrics on this album in general lend themselves to Tim Smith's knowledge and deep interest in history. Less complex characters than you would associate with modern people. Metaphors aside, as it's possible to find numerous. This song is simply about hunter-gatherer's ("the woods are usually kind")before humans were complex enough creatures to develop tools/weapons and how difficult survival must have been. With that in mind no tools/weapons or methods for fishing either as this came later to early humans("The sea is not mine"). | |
