Archers of Loaf – Web in Front Lyrics 17 years ago
Just to build on what you guys have said, I think the song is going through his states of mind. It kind of goes from "I fucked things up, argh," to "I just wanted to be with you," to "you know what? I didn't really care that much about you anyway. Everything I thought was a lie." The web in front is what hid those lies.

Beirut – Elephant Gun Lyrics 17 years ago
Okay, I get a huge Hemingway vibes from this.

The fatalistic old man that wishes he were young again, drinking himself to death.

The big game hunter that lived a life of adventure and was anti-establishment.

Pretty sure Mr. Condon read Old Man and the Sea and Green Hills of Africa. That's what I love about Beirut. I feel like the guys in the Lost Generation would listen to this.
