| The Antlers – Parentheses Lyrics

Plainly put,
A lot of the time songwriters put a deeper and more personal/intimate meaing into the title of their songs by using an alnate name in parentheses. So, if you want me to stop writing songs about you stop behaving in a way that warrants them. |

| The Antlers – Bear Lyrics

Song is not about abortion. Its an analogy to the lost feeling of hope, hope that the relationship is still working. The "bear" is the part of yourself that wants to bring it up to your partner. Its that gut-feeling that this relationship does not work, all of your friends know this, but neither party will admit it. They will continue to "make all the right appointments" to show that they are still in it, but internally they are not. |

The song deals with moments of enlightment, the power and change it can bring if they are pursued being shadowed by the unfortunate reality that they will not be shared by others in turn rendering the moment to a passing thought . I think we all have moments like these, moments of perceiving things differently than you did before, the sense that your idea can not be self-contained. But what happens? More often than not, is that people do not care truely listen or understand your view. They will more likely engage the idea momentarily and return to what they previously chose to believe. Eventually, we may diminish the idea ourselves, "The sound of silence" is a comfort zone, a metaphyical space where creative ideas or even solutions are combatant with a resilency to change. The end of the song suggest that these meaningful concepts are everywhere, overlooked places (suway walls/tennament halls) you will just have keep an open mind and not let the opprotunities for greatness crumble to the fear of thier rebuttles. So of all the verse to interpret I think the first is the most important. The narrator says, I had an enlightment, it came on to me in the night. I sense this was of great importance great. The remaining lyrics are used to degrade the idea with preconceived notion of it's failure. And there it sits, never to be shared. |

Great song! Much to interpret here, maybe too much. We're not given much explanation of the song by Paul Simon, other than he originally titled it Mrs. Roosevelt; I'll have to go off lyrical content here alone. To me the evidence is pretty clear, the song is about a women going into a mental health treatment facility. Alcohol? Pyschosis? Dimentia? perhaps, again although they can be be suggested it is not evidentally stated. Being in the mental health field this is the feeling I get from it. The opening verse alone is almost heavy-handed to suggest it that what Mrs. Robinson is doing or saying just refersback to it. Thats how I feel anyways haha. Love this damn song! |
