| Laura Marling – Crawled Out Of The Sea (Interlude) Lyrics | 16 years ago |

This song is so lovely, and I agree, simplicity. I think it's about evolution, if that makes sense, when creatures began to crawl out of the sea. It's as if this person she sings about was, not "created for her", but since the beginning of everything they were just meant to be. It sounds cheesy, but then that's why Laura Marling phrased it differently :p |

I read the ending as "There is gold across the river but I don't want none I would rather be dry than held up by a golden gun Saying 'work more, earn more, live more, have more fun." I feel like the song's saying that across the road are the things we're all supposed to aspire towards, or are felt pressured to gain at some point, like the home and garden and the lover and wealth. I think the turning point in the song is where she says "Why I should please those that will never be pleased." I think the song is about saying stuff them all, stuff expectations and conventions; to be wealthy, to be hardworking, to be fun and to be entertainting! I think it's saying there's nothing wrong with being anything else, there's nothing wrong with being miserable! Nothing wrong with being dry! I think it's about not selling out yourself, your personality and individuality. Just be whatever it is you happen to be. However, I do appreciate the double negative about the gold thing... |
