| Neko Case – Red Tide Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
The song is about Neko Case's disillusion with how commercial Washington state is becoming. Custer and Columbia are cities in Washington state. The red tide is reference to bio-toxins shellfish are releasing in Pacific County and how they are extremely poisonous. The fire is a reference to the wildfires that has been consuming that area on and off since the late 90s. The only nostalgia here is for the early 90s Seattle where people didn't consistently remark on how they "hate the rain". It is a very regionally-conscious song. |
