| Really? I thought It was about his divorce :S That's what I had always assumed, but if this is true this brings a whole new light to everything on this album to me. | |
| La Dispute – A Departure Lyrics | 13 years ago |

I feel like this song is sort of the summary of the albums themes. Because alot of the songs on the album are about stories of peoples suffering and how they come to terms with it. The line 'But it's there in the stories, or whatever they are. You can see it. Anybody could if they could Look. I wrote some notes in the margins explaining it. The rest is in between lines or in the fine Print. First, the feeling of abandonment, then trying to cope. Then death and hope and the thing Itself, waiting for me.' I guess one way to look at it is that this song is kind of like the prequel to the series of stories told in the whole album, and in a sense he(Jordan Dreyer, singer and writer of the lyrics) is 'writing a letter' as described by the following lines 'Night fell on me writing this and I ran out of paper so I crossed the name out at the top of the page. Not sure why I'm even writing this.' As far as the subject of these lyrics, it could be that they are merely reflections of Jordan that he chooses to write out instead of having them bottled up in his mind. Perhaps his own way of thinking out aloud, like talking to himself. |
