| Belle & Sebastian – Enter Sylvia Plath Lyrics
| 10 years ago
|
No comments yet, really? Sylvia Plath may have been dependent on her husband Ted Hughes for happiness. He left her for another woman and Plath killed herself, leaving her two children behind. The woman that Hughes left her for also ended up killing herself (Assia Wevill, who also killed their daughter).
Anyway, this song epitomizes a codependent relationship. Hughes was a writer as well, and wrote about Plath after her death, essentially "stealing thoughts away." This could also mean that Plath felt as if she lost her sense of self by being so consumed in her marriage with Hughes. The verse, "I will leave the ones I love, leave them for years to come. Even though I may be doing wrong, doing wrong." Could be her planning suicide and leaving her children and loved ones behind. Suicide is an easy escape. She looked to Hughes to save her from her depression, only to her demise. |

I kept watching the video and reading the lyrics trying to interpret it but couldn't make sense of it... then I discovered that Isaac Brock didn't write this. |

Seems like a song about addiction to heroin... initially she blames the dealer for getting her brother and herself addicted, but later sings "all these things that I held against you, who should we blame for the things that we do?" |

makes me think of using the excuse of being a "superstar" for not trying at life anymore, and using it as a crutch. |
