Noah and the Whale – Jocasta Lyrics 17 years ago
It's most certainly about the myth about Oedipus.

"When the babies born
Oh, let's turn it to the snow
So that ice will surely grow
Over weak and brittle bones
Oh, let's leave it to the wolves
So their teeth turn it to food
Oh, its flesh keeps them alive
Oh, its death helps life survive
Oh, the world can be kind in its own way"

when Laius and Jocasta heard the prophecy about their son, they sent him to be killed in the snow.
then it speaks of the inevitability of the prophecy and how there was no way to avoid it.

Beautiful.
