| The Dear Hunter – He Said He Had a Story Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I have to say, I completely agree with ascendings interpretation. So far as I can tell, this album focuses primarily on the dear hunter taking back his life. This song is followed immediately by "This Beautiful Life," in which he states that "It wasn't meant that I would discover such offensive things," i.e., his true past. Furthermore, later on the album in "Father," the references to the father, the mother, and the son, seem to indicate the story of the dear hunter, his father, and his mother, Ms. Terri. What's more, later on in the album it would seem that the dear hunter murders his father using the poison acquired from "The Poison Woman." This can be seen from the line "I knew there was a reason I kept this." When combined with the images on the "post cards" that come with the album, it is possible to discern that there is indeed a poisoning taking place. This song concerns the discovery that the dear hunter makes concerning his origins, and indeed, the silver circle sign references The Dime. But the woman concerned is not, in fact, Ms. Leading. It is Ms. Terri. | |
