I'm so late in responding. Just found this site. But I think you're close as hell. I think this song is just a bit more judgmental on all adults -- wrt to his childhood -- as opposed to one parental event. And I think it's darker. More is happening than one fight. And the violence by the fence is diff from the parental fights, which I agree is happening. It seems to me that it's more like what would happen as a result of multiple-parental neglect -- a fight amongst the kids or something worse. In my opinion, it's "while they lie-dy-died, they lie-dy-died, while they died." And what they died from is .. well, denial of all sorts. The most obvious being cigarette smoking. But we grew up in it, eh? There were whole dimensions of denial one could spread out in at the time. And lots of room for fuckupedness in family relations. |
