The Mountain Goats – Emerging Lyrics 8 years ago
i feel like this song is definitely about trauma, the ugly things you did at your absolute worst to keep yourself alive, and how no one else will ever understand those things so you have to carry them alone. this song is painfully lonely

also, "sleeping bodies" and the murder implications of "bloodbath" suggest to me that the other colonists were less dead and more in some sort of coma, cryogenic sleep maybe

AJJ – Goodbye, Oh Goodbye Lyrics 9 years ago
this song definitely reads as being about child abuse at the hands of a parent to me, and feeling stuck with the person that's hurting you. specifically the acting out and avoidance that comes with child abuse
