Oh, now I understand... I figured it was about death or dying based on the lyrics and way it's sung but wasn't sure. It's a hauntingly beautiful song that I can't stop listening to!! |

I agree with leahclaire, it's hard to interpret this song... I think the social and/or personal upheaval is a great way to put it. I've listened to this song countless times and try to think of different ways to interpret it. Out of all her songs, I understand this song the least overall. I'm probably waaay off but it makes me think of when giant companies collapse and all of a sudden all the employees and investors are forced into financially difficult times. For example "the damage is done, the certainties gone" meaning that the company is finished and all the financial "certainty" that the employees, etc, had are now gone. If anyone has any other interpretations I'd be really enthused to read them :) |
