| Broken Social Scene – Ungrateful Little Father Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
Goodness these comments are completely off. The narrator is a family friend having an affair with a father who doesn't appreciate his life. The song tells the story across the three verses, ungrateful little father thinking he got two wishes, family friend being confided in, correction by the way, it says here "never said I was the man who held the 'dad' and breathed while we violently shook", and the father ending the affair. It's very straightforward really... I can hardly tell how it's been so misinterpreted... Other than that it's not completely obvious what "boredom tuck" is referring to... At the end of the song the narrator is commenting on what he'll do if the ungrateful little father replaces him with a cracked up kid - double kick, possibly meaning both literally and figuratively kick him to rock bottom. Actual comment - I absolutely love this song, the storytelling in the lyricism, the perfect tone in a perfectly ambiguous song about moral decay, I feel you like an evil wind, sucka twin, dying for the "never" of "stop" - just amazing. I think I'll be addicted to it until I'm good enough at guitar to play it well enough, matter of fact. Fact that I'm 4 years late to this is pretty depressing though >_< |
