Sufjan Stevens – Opie's Funeral Song Lyrics 12 years ago
I was reading a quote by Sufjan that said "...Opie the foster kid (who died in a car crash)...". I think this song is about them.


"You put a hole in my head
Just like you put a fire in the tree"

Ths could mean that Opie's death left a hole in Sufjan's heart when he died, just like how he made a fire when he crashed into the tree.

"And we tied the ribbon beside your back tree"

This meant that they tied a ribbon to the tree to commemorate his death.
