| The Decemberists – Dear Avery Lyrics | 13 years ago |

I agree with the first post, it's about his son.the arms "listing lazily" reflect a carefree child. . . And, he's anything but carefree now.. In fact, many examples illuminate that Avery's struggling with addiction: ...'there are times when life will rattle your bones'. ...'shake at the flame- the flame YOU made,' Also, the nape of your neck -expressing a parent in controll- when he said ...'when you were young, and needing saving,' it worked. He wants to 'save' him - but he no longer is able- yet, the love and desire to save him is as strong as ever. What a tearjerker, BEAUTIFUL song! |
