| Sparklehorse – Cow Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| At the beginning he speaks of death as holy and virtous through his dream to be set out at sea on a boat which is a "barge" then he goes on by saying that the only thing that keeps him sane or alive is his music or "sparkling drum sets" because it makes him forget about his darkness or "murder of crows" the "metal teeth of carousels" symbolizes the terror he sees in industry and just the tampering of nature and simple life in general, that were basically killing ourselves or "lighting cigars on electric chairs" Building represent darkness as a "rook" is a type of crow. The "rattle of diesels" just expands on the idea of our self destruction. "pretty girl" to me symbolizes commercialism and the cow is supposed to stand for fertility and innocence in literary terms. Commercials always try to appeal to the consumer through commercials that put on these masks like everythings rainbows and flowers and to purchase these things that will eventually lead to the downfall of man. | |
