Kind of reminds me of Romeo and Juliet :) A couple who falls in love, and commit suicide together because their parents won't allow it. |

| The Decemberists – Odalisque Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
From what I can see, this sounds alot like a World War II/Nazi sort of song. "They've come to find you, Odalisque" - the Nazis find a young woman. "They will rend you terribly" - meaning that they will kill you when they find you. Or take you to a camp. "What do we do with ten baby shoes?" - in concentration camps, woman and children would leave their shoes outside before being gassed. "And what do we do with ten dirty Jews?" - this kind of gives the story line away. They are deciding to either kill them, or send them away. "Lay your belly under mine Naked under me, under me Such a filthy dimming shine The way you kick and scream, kick and scream" - this sounds like someone is raping, who I am believing, a Jewish woman before sending her away. She later has a baby. |
