| The Antlers – Epilogue Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I agree with EVERYTHING you've said, except for the baby/abortion aspect. My interpretation of "Bear" is that it's about the time when the couple felt optimistic about beating her cancer. If you listen to the lyrics to the lyrics again with that in mind, it sounds a lot like the Bear (cancer) is having a cub (spreading) and they believe if they just feed (treat) it, everything will be alright. It would also explain why "Epilogue" and "Bear" shame the same melody. Because in "Epilogue" she's already dead and he's remembering and longing for her... and of course he's going to long for the good times again. Suffice it to say... this is a very very very smart album. |
