Long distance relationship rings true for me. Soldier, maybe, or maybe losing a leg is metaphorical, about the loss or something big and essential. Something that pushes you forward, something that makes moving possible. *shrug* Picture I'm the dreamer, I'll take you deeper, down to the sleepy glow - dreaming of someone. the sleepy glow = the pre-sleep haze and the fuzz upon waking, when your dreams seem real Sick and selfless - heartsick, losing oneself |

Also, yes it is "bottles he threw to the water" and "if I were beautiful *supple* and touchable" not subtle |

The mention of pogroms connects this song to "Tasseomancey". Specifically the young boy who died in a pogrom, his cradle was tipped over and he was burned... perhaps he is now the vampire. It would make sense considering how he now curses his father, who in the song went to war for the Czar... causes of pogroms were quite arbitrary and maybe his father did something in the army that brought a pogrom upon their village. Or in the same vein he could be cursing his father for being Jewish, cursing his lineage in general. |

It sounds like it's about a family of Eastern European Jews or maybe Gypsies. Shtetls were smallish Russian Jewish villages, several of which were destroyed by pogroms during the reign of Alexander II and again during the 1917 Revolution. Anatevka from Fiddler on the Roof is one of these. I find this song really beautiful and really disturbing. |
