| The Dear Hunter – Lillian Lyrics | 12 years ago |

casey writes most of his songs metaphorically from what I've been noticing. The girl seems to be stuck in a rut of bouncing from one guy to another, while the writer knows that that lifestyle leads to a sad ending. The woman lives her life day to day bouncing from one cheap thrill to another, apathetic to the mess she makes. She forces a smile to convince herself that she prefers this to looking for the true loves she believes will fall apart inevitably. The writer sees her sad lifestyle catching up to her fast and he wants take her away from it and sweep her off her feet feeling as though "shes not living the life that she's worth". But in the end shes afraid to trust her heart with anyone as she knows it will fall apart like the rest. No matter how passionate the writer is about her he's just another man she's trying to catch the eye of, cutting the relationship off as a fling instead of a relationship. she dosn't believe it's better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all. something painful is worse than having nothing at all. |

After a few years of listening to this band i found they can be both cryptic and upfront with their music. I used to think this song was about a failed relationship but now i'm leaning towards the inability to forget a lost love. He starts off on a heavier note saying we all live our lives alone searching for someone to share them with. The next verse shows he's haunted the memories of a lost love. He can't get her out of his head even though he "locked all these windows fairly tight" trying to forget and move on but no matter how hard she still works his way into his head after "she starts turning off the lights". In the next verse he "sees her in the corner of his eye" "dressed in white". It shows that he doesn't even have to fixate the memory of her to remember how beautiful and perfect she is dressed in white, a color associated with purity. He drowns himself in his sorrows fixating on her, hoping she find her way back to him. "tell me that you could see it" rings throughout song almost like hes trying to convince himself shes not just a delusion. Even though she's merely a memory "a ghost whose skin is porcelain" shows he sees her as beautiful as ever did. He fixates on her until he's sure he can see her ghostly figure glance at him from down a hall. That glance could mean so many things to him. The last verse is my favorite. she says she lonely and he won't allow it asking those same questions until either she silences him with a kiss or by leaving The instrumental to the song is also |

| "who could ask for more" so reluctantly ties this song together. It sounds as if hes kidding himself into being ok despite how he really feels. Its something we all need to do every now and then. I miss this band so much | |
