| Fleet Foxes – The Plains/Bitter Dancer Lyrics
| 14 years ago

this is quickly becoming one of my favorite songs on this album. it almost seems like he's singing about death, particularly in the first few lines. He sings "Just as the sand made everything round, Just as the tar seeps up from the ground," which sounds like an allusion to the natural process of erosion and decay that changes the earth. The next line, "bitter dancer, ever turning" also speaks to that idea of a natural process that we don't have any control over (i.e. the cycle of life and death). Even the song's name is a reflection of the focus on the ecosystem around us - the plains. |
