| you sound like the type of person who enjoys a song for the music, not for the words. I bet you'd say something lame like "nice flow" or "sick beat" or "whoa that riff!" so wtf are you doing on a forum about interpretation of words?!? | |

I tried to write an interpretation of this song and it became too long and too much like a written therapy session. So I deleted it and now, all I will say is that I relate to this song in a deep way. And what it speaks to me is about my relationship with my sister and my alcoholic mom... and the 3 way relationship we all have that leaves me feeling in the middle. The lyrics to me are literal... about being the "go to" confidant for a sibling hurt by being neglected by our mother and a mother hurt by being neglected by her mother.... and the cycle continues. It's about being on both sides and neither side simultaneously ( I am hurt by mother, which I can share with my sister, but I still love my mother which I can share with her and my sister can't) and how easy it would be on me if neither parties talked about the other... or just got along. It's also about self fulfilling prophecies... about predicting the future (omens) and therefore creating them. You think, therefore, you are. Maybe someone else will relate to this interpretation but even if not, I feel comforted thinking this song was written about my own situation. |
