| Why? – Eskimo Snow Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
"All of my words for sadness Like eskimo snow..." This is playing on the urban myth that there are hundreds of words for snow in Eskimo. He's written his sadness hundreds of ways. These are private feelings ("I hum these prayers in secret") that he plays for everyone ("and sung them through speakers in rooms for people to hear it"). It's difficult to find new ways to express these feelings, especially when beaten down by them ("Even when I'm wasted and numb, With the words for good wine on a philistine's tongue"). The words for good wine on a philistine's tongue being sort of like the opposite to the words for snow on an Eskimo's tongue. |
