| Mother Mother – Little Pistol Lyrics | 6 years ago |
| Personally, I feel like this song is a message about abuse and the mental illness that comes along with it. As a victim of abuse, that's how I view it anyway. The person who sings this song is a victim of childhood/domestic abuse and is untrusting of the world. They destroy all their relationships because they guard themselves with their 'Little Pistol' (a metaphor for mental illness/PTSD?) handed on to them from their parent or partner. They continue on in life on guard and paranoid, ruining relationships with their pistol. The loud parts of the song is their mind, and them trying to come to terms. At the end lyrics, they find a 'burning rose' (a person/family they can be with and trust) and they won't be packing 'little pistols' (defense mechanisms.). Beautiful song. | |
