Its a great song, and it really makes me think when I listen to it. On the surface its a song about a pig who grows up, has piglets, and eventually gets killed for food. But it means much more than that in my mind. The whole thing is like an extended metaphor for life. The beginning is someones a happy childhood, when you go off playing games with friends and live carefree. Then he finds a girl, and he loves this girl, "we started to smile it was our destiny " and marries this girl, and does all he can for her. Then he has some kids of his own, wondering how time flew by so quickly , "we lost track of the passin of time before i knew it we had our own babies " and then comes to realize that his time is near. The man has lived a good long life, full of happiness, so he doesn't worry about death, and welcomes it while thanking God (the farmer) "for bringin me scraps so for that i could eat " or giving him this life full of happiness. Even though I'm not too religious, that is what I get from the song, that we shouldn't fear death, but enjoy the life we have without fear of the end. After all, everyone has to die at some point. For some reason as I type this I am reminded of the poem "Thanatopsis" by William Cullen Bryant. |
