| The New Pornographers – Loose Translation Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| I think this is about religion. The home-made (home-schooled) girl wears a tshirt that says what price damnation, meaning she's chosen to step out and explore the world beyond her religious upbringing, at the supposed cost of her eternal soul. The loose translation lost her, which means she no longer believes what's written in the Bible, a loose translation of old myths. The pride of fall is a reference to original sin. Possibly he's saying "wrong schools" are religious teachings, which are taught out of man's arrogance in believing he knows the nature of God. | |
