| Adam Arcuragi – Broken Throat Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
For some reason it feels like Arcuragi is singing about his mother and her death, partly because he has other songs that relate to the issue as well. when he sings, "Someone has said in a song we could saw off that pearly gate, So that sooner than crying the most tired wings could shake themselves awake, That kind of talk only leads us to thinking a circle on the lawn," you can feel the pain of the loss of a loved one and the difficulty of facing it at a funeral. The image that comes to mind is that of people surrounding a coffin laying over green grass on a windy day. "So i will sing and soothe with your head laid low..Cause in your sleep i heard you crying out Oh don't leave me god take me home." i felt like Adam could hear his mother not wanting him to leave after the funeral is over because she doesn't want to leave either; she wants to go back home with him just like Adam not wanting to be left alone by his mother in the beginning of the song but wanting to be taken home. It gives me a vision of a much younger Adam waiting for his mother to come pick him up at school so that they can go home and be together. |
