| The Mountain Goats – Maybe Sprout Wings Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| the line, "canaries in the mines" speaks to me because there is an old song by the police called "canary in a coalmine" and it's all about paranoid people and how they can't live their lives because they're blinded by fear, and i think that this is relevant because he feels like this with his friends/lovers, that he's so clouded by his feelings that he can't think rationally, and i think that's the meaning of this song, like sprouting wings is not a rational solution to fix things, and he mentions ghosts in the chorus, and there is no proof that they're real either. | |
