I think Sainthood embodys that struggle to decide to keep on going or to settle down, along with the under tones of their issues from growing up with parents that were divorced, ect. I think that this song is about Sara having to comproimse with a compainon, and (i'm assuming) like so many times before, the absense of that comprise turns people off, like a warning that there is no definate future with Sara because of her career. "Just give me the key I watch your things like I watch your face" Key to appartment? the slow decay of someone collecting their things with out announcing it, getting ready to leave. Maybe Sara know it, and is trying to get someone to believe in there love? blah blah blah I'm done now |

Sainthood is the only record of Tegan and Sara's that had to grow on me a bit before I could really start to appricate it. When I first downloaded this record I was unaware that there was a deluxe version with four other songs including: Sheets, Midnight, Wrists, and Light up. So I didn't get those songs until a few months after the record was released. Needless to say this is why it took a while for it to grow on me, these songs make all of the other ones make sense, with out them the record feels imcomplete. anyhow, I think that Brokenwrist's post was very insightful, I actually didn't think about Sara refereing to her parent's divorce with this song. I think that there are two major themes in this record 1.) Sara's inner conflict with settling down with a companion, a compaion that wants more from Sara than she is possibly willing to give --- or in this case give up. what? is it ten years now that they have been touring ? how many long lasting relationships can one have while traveling the world? Tegan and Sara are extremley busy having a careers,obviously. 2.) Deciding their next move. I don't know about anybody else, but do you get the feeling that they are gettting ready to take a break? I don't think that they will ever stop wrting music I just think that they have sacrificed more than any of us could possibly grasp to live their dreams. on the track someday it says,"The crowd's not worth this, and love's not worthless". |
