The Lumineers – Ophelia Lyrics | 8 years ago |
To me this has the pretty obvious theme of two young lovers, the girl accidentally got pregnant, and had an abortion. The song title kind of gives it away. "When I was younger, I, I should have known better And I can't feel no remorse, and you don't feel nothing back" Should've known better, as in, shouldn't have gotten her pregnant. And the remorse being that he's glad they chose not to keep the baby. "Oh, Ophelia, heaven help a fool who falls in love" and "And you can't feel nothing small" Self-explanatory Plus he repeats "you've been on my mind girl..." as if he's never stopped thinking about her and what they went through together. Great song, I can't wait for their new album. |
